Chimichurri is one of those sauces that makes just about anything better. It’s fresh, garlicky, tangy, and packed with herbs, with just enough red pepper flakes for a little kick. Spoon it over grilled steak or chicken, drizzle it over roasted vegetables, or pile it onto a baked potato with butter and creamy ricotta, one of my favorite ways to eat it. It’s simple to make, but adds so much flavor to whatever you’re serving.

Taste and adjust with additional salt, red pepper flakes, or vinegar as desired.

For the best flavor, let the chimichurri sit for 20–30 minutes before serving.
