Preparation

Step 1

To make the chimichurri, combine all the ingredients except the olive oil in a food processor. Process until everything is roughly chopped.
Gradually stream in the olive oil, mixing until you have a well-blended sauce. Taste and adjust salt and lime juice levels.

In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients with the chimichurri (start with only part of it, then add more to your liking). Season with salt and pepper.

Serve over grilled bread or cooked grains, or alongside broiled fish or roasted vegetables.
