Notes

Try serving this chimichurri sauce with my Crispy Smashed Potatoes.
Recipe will keep for up to 3 days. Store in the fridge in an air-tight container. Bring back to room temperature before serving.
For this recipe I used curly parsley leaves, but flat-leaf parsley also works. Both have been tested.
