About This Recipe

This spicy chimichurri sauce is bright and fresh and has a spicy kick thanks to the addition of jalapeno. Plus, it's made in the blender for an easy marinade, dressing, or topping on steak, chicken, or salmon. Gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan.

Ingredients

  • 1 jalapeño, roughly chopped ((deseed if you don't want it as spicy))
  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 cup parsley
  • 1 cup cilantro
  • 1 shallot, roughly chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Make chimichurri. Place all ingredients in a high-powered blender or food processor and blend until your desired consistency (either a little chunky or smooth). If needed, stop the blender and push down the ingredients every so often so everything gets incorporated. Adjust according to taste.
  2. Enjoy! For the best flavor, let it sit for a few hours.
