Chimichurri is SO good. Flavor-packed, so very versatile, and absolutely delicious. I've been making batches of this and using it for all sorts of things - most recently simply spread with butter over fresh sourdough focaccia. YUM.

This has quickly become Rusty's favorite weeknight meal, and I'm right on board.

It's versatile, flavor-packed, and makes such a great base for all kinds of dressings, sauces, and even baked goods. YUM. See our favorite homemade [...]
