Cilantro Lime Chimichurri


Cilantro Lime Chimichurri

If you haven't ever tried Chimichurri sauce you are seriously missing out! I like to describe it as a pesto made with cilantro and garlic instead of parsley. This simple sauce really jazzes up any type of meat or seafood. I also use it as a marinade for chicken or shrimp tacos. I hope you love this versatile sauce as much as I do!

Cilantro Lime Chimichurri

Ingredients:
1/2 red onion, coarsely diced
4 cloves garlic, whole
1 cup cilantro, packed
2 tbsp salsa verde
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp salt
Juice of 1 lime

Directions:
1. Combine all ingredients in food processor/blender. Blend until smooth. 
2. Let sauce chill for at least an hour to let flavors combine. Use on chicken, steak, or shrimp as a sauce or marinade. Yum!
