Chimichurri

Chimichurri is a zesty Argentinian/Uruguayan herb sauce made from parsley, garlic, vinegar and oil, commonly used to dress grilled meats, vegetables and sandwiches. It is herb-forward and bright, known for its fresh, garlicky flavor and loose, spoonable texture. Nutritionally, Chimichurri is herb-rich and provides notable vitamin C at 27.5mg per 100g, reflecting the contribution of fresh herbs and vinegar; it also delivers beneficial fat from the oil used as the base. Because it’s oil-based and often seasoned, chimichurri is relatively energy-dense and can be higher in salt compared with plain herbs, but it also brings antioxidant compounds and vitamin-rich herbs that add nutritional value and flavor to dishes.
