Chimichurri is an uncooked Argentinian sauce, used both as an ingredient in cooking and as a table condiment for grilled meat. Use it on other proteins like Tofu and on grilled vegetables.

Instructions
Chop parsley, garlic and peppers and add to a bowl. Chop as finely or as coarsely as you desire.
Add dried oregano or chopped fresh oregano.
Add olive oil and vinegar.
Mix well and season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a mason jar or glass bottle.

Notes
This sauce can be kept in the refrigerator for up to a week but I promise you'll finish it before then!
