Avocado Oil Chimichurri Sauce is an amazing fresh herby flavor accompaniment to beef, pork, seafood, or chicken. Chimichurri Sauce is a fresh uncooked herb sauce to add to grilled meats or chicken. Indeed Chimichurri Sauce is Argentina’s most famous sauce. In fact, the flavor is hard to describe it is slightly tangy from the lemon juice and vinegar with a huge herbaceous flavor, mixed with garlic. Let this sauce upgrade any steak or chicken.

Avocado Oil Chimichurri Sauce Notes:

Nevertheless, the first time I had Chimichuri sauce was at the Mediterranean restaurant that used to be at Disneyland’s Grand Californian. So, of course, I wanted to recreate it at home. Additionally, I like to use this for chicken, pork, or beef. It can be used as a steak sauce. Indeed, I like to use watercress in this recipe. Consequently, Watercress is a slightly peppery herb that adds a slight heat to the sauce.  At any rate, watercress seems to be more prevalent in grocery stores during springtime and summertime.

What is Chimichurri Sauce:

All in all, this sauce is very refreshing with a fresh herb and garlic flavor. It is a tasty sauce that is common in South America. Most notably, i is used for beef. However, I have used it for chicken, beef, pork, and even salmon. In any event, you can make this sauce days ahead of time. If, however, you make the sauce ahead of time be sure to shake the sauce up before using it as the herbs and oil will separate slightly.

This sauce is so vibrant and flavorful that it will soon become a family favorite. Please note that I add the herb watercress as it adds a little spice to it. I would call the sauce a fresh herb pickle.

By the way, use it as a dip for vegetables, crackers, and chips. If you have never had this herbaceous sauce you are in for a treat.
