This quick and easy 9 ingredient Chimichurri Verde is my spin on the classic South American sauce! It contains a blend of parsley, cilantro, garlic, oil, vinegar and spices; and is BIG on flavor. You’ll find yourself putting this delicious gluten-free & vegan sauce on everything — this I can attest!

The BEST Chimichurri Verde Sauce that uses only 9 ingredients and takes only a few minutes to make . . .

This vibrant green chimichurri sauce is one of my absolute favorite things in the world!

While I know chimichurri is traditionally served on meat, you will have no problem whatsoever putting it on just about anything savory! It is fresh, zippy, and tangy with a touch of salty sweetness and green vibrancy that brings the dullest dishes to life, and only serves to enhance already flavorful dishes alike.

To give you some ideas, I love to put it on: salads, potatoes (hash browns and mashed especially!), roasted veggies, burritos, quesadillas, scrambled eggs, tofu, mixed into hummus, and over some freshly made gluten-free pasta. The possibilities are endless!

I sincerely cannot wait to hear your feedback on this delicious version of chimichurri verde sauce; and I cannot wait to hear your favorite way to enjoy it! I can only hope you love it as much as we do . . .
