Let’s delve into the world of chimichurri—a simple yet incredibly flavorful sauce that adds a fresh twist to your meals with seasonal herbs. Think parsley, cilantro, and a mix of other herbs coming together to create a vibrant green sauce that packs a punch! Classic chimichurri is made with a simple blend of parsley, garlic, and olive oil, but you can get really creative with the herbs you add to yours based on what is available around you. In this recipe, we added dandelion greens as a fun and seasonal addition.
