Chimichurri is one of my favourite sauces to serve with steak, grilled chicken, baked fish or with roasted low-carb vegetables. It's a great way to add healthy fats and flavour to any meals when you follow a keto diet.
I prefer to blend mine but you can keep it chunky by simply chopping all of the ingredients with a knife. You can use it to make a simple dressing by combining it with some healthy mayonnaise.
It takes just 5 minutes to make and you can keep it in a sealed jar in the fridge for at least a week, maybe two. If you need to store it for longer, pour it in an ice tray and freeze until set. Once set, empty the ice cubes in a container or a freezer bag and keep frozen for 3 months. When you want to use it, let it defrost at room temperature or in the fridge.
This chimichurri sauce recipe makes 4 generous (1/4 cup) servings or up to 8 smaller (2-tbsp) servings. Enjoy!
