    1 cup italian parsley, 1 cup cilantro, 2 tablespoons oregano, ½ small red onion, 3 cloves garlic, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, ½ cup olive oil, salt and pepper, pinch of red pepper flakes
  • Serve immediately and enjoy! 

Notes

For the herbs, uses mostly leaves and some tender stems. You can cut of the bottom of the bunches. 
For a milder flavor, use 1 shallot instead of ½ a red onion.
You can use white wine vinegar instead of red wine vinegar. 
If you hate cilantro, you can omit it and double the amount of parsley. This actually makes the recipe more authentic! 
Feel free to use lime juice instead of lemon juice.
For a chunkier chimichurri, reduce the amount of pulsing or blending. For a creamier chimichurri, increase the amount of pulsing or blending!
Serve the chimichurri at room temperature. If it's too hot, it will separate and if it's too cold it will be very thick and difficult to spread.
Use FRESH herbs! This will give the best flavor and it looks prettier.
