• 3 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
• 2 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
• 0.5 cup Extra-virgin olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Wash and dry the parsley, cilantro, and oregano leaves thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris.

Step 2

Roughly chop the parsley, cilantro, and oregano leaves and place them into a food processor or blender.

Step 3

Peel and roughly chop the garlic cloves, then add them to the food processor along with the red chili flakes, lime zest, fresh lime juice, and red wine vinegar.

Step 4

Pulse the mixture a few times to combine the ingredients and create a coarse texture.

Step 5

Gradually drizzle in the extra-virgin olive oil while continuing to pulse the food processor. Stop occasionally to scrape down the sides of the processor to ensure everything is evenly mixed.

Step 6

Once the mixture reaches your desired consistency (chunky or smooth, depending on preference), transfer it to a bowl.

Step 7

Stir in the salt and black pepper, tasting and adjusting seasoning if needed.

Step 8

Let the chimichurri rest for at least 5 minutes at room temperature before serving, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Step 9

Serve immediately as a topping for grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or even as a dipping sauce. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
