What To Serve With It
Beyond its nutritional perks, this vibrant green sauce shines when paired with the right dishes. I love drizzling it over grilled steak, chicken, or pork—it adds a zesty kick that’s impossible to resist.
For something lighter, try it with roasted vegetables or a quinoa salad. I’ve even tossed it with pasta for a quick, flavorful meal.
Don’t forget about seafood! It’s fantastic with grilled shrimp or fish.
And if you’re feeling adventurous, spread it on crusty bread or mix it into deviled eggs. Chimichurri’s versatility makes it my go-to sauce for adding a fresh, herby twist to almost anything.
