Betsy’s No Garlic Chimichurri Sauce

By Betsy Vail 02/12/17

Ingredients:

• 2 c cilantro leaves, fresh
• 1 c parsley leaves, fresh (I usually substitute cilantro here for a stronger flavor)
• 1 c olive oil
• 1½ Tbs lime juice
• 1 tsp crushed red pepper
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp salt (to taste)
• ½ tsp ground oregano
• ½ tsp onion powder (optional)

Directions:

1. Mix all ingredients in a mixer until fully blended. I used my Ninja and it worked well. 
2. Sample and adjust seasonings to taste if needed.
3. Enjoy over steak, chicken, seafood, or even serve as a salsa dip if you like. It’s just good! 

Creative Considerations:

• To make an excellent marinade, add a tequila and little extra lime and salt! It's amazing!
• Add ¼ c of Chimichurri Sauce to 2 mashed avocados for a quick guacamole!
