Chimichurri sauce is a vibrant and tangy Argentine condiment traditionally served with grilled meats. It’s made primarily from fresh herbs, garlic, vinegar, and olive oil, and it can be made in both green (the most common) and red variations.

### Classic Green Chimichurri Recipe

#### Ingredients:
– **1 cup fresh parsley leaves**, finely chopped
– **1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves** (optional), finely chopped
– **4-5 cloves garlic**, minced
– **1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes** (adjust to taste)
– **1/4 cup red wine vinegar**
– **1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil**
– **Salt and pepper** to taste
– **Juice of 1 lemon** (optional, for brightness)

#### Instructions:
1. **Combine Ingredients:**
– In a bowl, mix the chopped parsley, cilantro (if using), minced garlic, red pepper flakes, and red wine vinegar.

2. **Add Olive Oil:**
– Slowly whisk in the olive oil until well combined. The mixture should be vibrant and aromatic.

3. **Season:**
– Season with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add lemon juice for extra brightness.

4. **Let it Rest:**
– For the best flavor, let the chimichurri sit for at least 30 minutes at room temperature before serving. This allows the flavors to meld.

5. **Serve or Store:**
– Serve as a sauce over grilled meats, vegetables, or bread. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.

### Uses:
– **Grilled Meats:** Drizzle over steaks, chicken, or fish.
– **Marinade:** Use it as a marinade for meats before grilling.
– **Dipping Sauce:** Serve with crusty bread or roasted vegetables.
– **Topping for Tacos or Sandwiches:** Add a burst of flavor to your favorite dishes.

### Tips:
– **Herb Variations:** Experiment with other herbs like oregano or mint for a different twist.
– **Spice Level:** Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to suit your heat preference.
– **Storage:** If storing, keep it in a sealed jar with a little extra olive oil on top to prevent oxidation.

Chimichurri is fresh, flavorful, and incredibly versatile—perfect for adding a zesty kick to your meals! Enjoy!
