  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Herb Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the parsley, oregano, and garlic.
  2. Add Liquid Ingredients: Stir in the olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Combine Well: Mix everything until fully combined.
  4. Let It Sit: Allow the chimichurri to sit for at least 15 minutes at room temperature for the flavors to meld.
  5. Serve: Use as a sauce or marinade for grilled dishes or as a flavorful bread dip.
