A quick and easy authentic Argentinian chimichurri sauce made with fresh herbs, garlic, vinegar, and olive oil. Perfect for grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or as a zesty salad dressing.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh oregano, finely chopped (or 1 tablespoon dried oregano)
  • 4 large garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • ⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt (or to taste)
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional)

Instructions

  1. Rinse the fresh parsley and oregano under cold water and pat dry thoroughly with paper towels. Chop the parsley finely but keep a coarse, leafy texture. Chop the oregano finely as well.
  2. Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped parsley, oregano, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Stir gently to combine.
  4. Pour in the red wine vinegar and optional lemon juice, then mix well.
  5. Slowly drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil while whisking or stirring to emulsify the sauce and bind the flavors.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, or red pepper flakes if desired.
  7. Let the sauce sit at room temperature for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.

Notes

Use fresh flat-leaf parsley and fresh oregano for best flavor. Avoid overprocessing herbs to maintain texture. Let the sauce rest for at least 15 minutes or overnight in the fridge for deeper flavor. Adjust vinegar and oil balance carefully to avoid harshness or greasiness. Can be frozen in ice cube trays for longer storage.
