    Chimichurri is an uncooked sauce used for grilled meat and originates from Argentina and Uruguay (according to Wikipedia). We used avocado instead of oil to make a super creamy, oil-free version of this amazing recipe.

    Although chimichurri is traditionally eaten with meat, it may also be served on the side as a condiment or to make all kinds or recipes. We love chimichurri with baked or steamed potatoes, cooked riced, pasta or quinoa or spreaded onto a slice of bread, so yummy!

    It's ready in less than 5 minutes, only requires 9 ingredients and a food processor or blender, although I also explain in the recipe box how to make chimichurri with a knife, a fork and a bowl, just in case you don't have any equipment on hand.

    I think this recipe is just perfect (at least for me), but try it before serving and add more cayenne powder, salt, vinegar or any other ingredient if needed, and don't be afraid to change any recipe as we do, if you don't consume oil, don't add oil, if you don't like any ingredient, omit it, just enjoy the process and the delicious food you're making. Cooking is so fun!

      This looks delicious! How long have you found that it lasts in the fridge, and does the avocado tend to let it get brown?

      Thanks!

        Hi Claudia! As you can read in the recipe box, you can keep it in a sealed container in the fridge for 4 to 5 days. Yes, it does, a little bit. Have a nice day!
