One of my favorite 5 minute dressings is a traditional Chimichurri Sauce. Not only does this easy Chimichurri Sauce cheer up an otherwise ho-hum weeknight dinner, leftover Chimichurri Sauce = tomorrow night's grilled chicken or steak marinade. Get more ideas at sipbitego.com

Notes
Set the olive oil and red wine vinegar aside. Pulse all of the herbs, veg and other ingredients in the food processor. If you don’t have a processor, very finely chop up the cilantro, red onion and garlic before mixing together all the ingredients. Add the olive oil and optional red wine vinegar at the end and blend (but don’t puree) together. Chill until ready to serve as a salad or main dish dressing. I always like to save any leftover chimichurri sauce in the fridge or freezer for a future delectable meal. It makes a wonderful marinade the next day.
