Chimichurri is an uncooked sauce that originated in Argentina as an accompaniment to its world-class beef. While it has also been widely paired with chicken and fish, chimichurri can have many vegetarian uses as well. It is great drizzled over roasted vegetables, and is a huge flavor addition to stews for a little added tanginess. Chimichurri also works great on its own as a dip for low-carb tortilla chips or as a condiment for tacos and burger patties.
While a serving is only two tablespoons, you don’t have to use caution when adding it to your favorite dishes. Most of the ingredients are known detoxifiers that are filled with antioxidants, and the sauce is a good source of vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin C and potassium.
