EASY CHIMICHURRI SAUCE 

Ingredients

• 5 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
• 1 serrano pepper, seeds / stems removed (use less if not into spicy food)
• 1 cup (20 g) packed cilantro, thick bottom stems cut off
• 1 cup (20 g) packed flat-leaf parsley
• 3 Tbsp (45 g) ripe avocado
• 1/4 tsp salt, plus more to taste
• 3 Tbsp (45 ml) lime juice
• 1 Tbsp (15 ml) maple syrup (or other sweetener of choice)
• optional: 1 Tbsp (15 ml) avocado oil (or sub more water)
• Water to thin (~3 Tbsp or 45 ml)

Instructions

1. Place garlic and pepper in a food processor along with the cilantro, parsley, avocado, salt, lime juice, maple syrup, and oil (optional).
2. Process/mix until smooth, scraping down sides as needed. Thin with water until a semi-thick (but pourable) sauce is formed.
3. Taste and adjust flavor as needed, adding more serrano pepper for heat, garlic for spice/zing, avocado for creaminess, salt for saltiness, lime for acidity, or maple syrup for sweetness.
4. Transfer to a serving container and enjoy immediately, or cover and refrigerate up to 4-5 days. Be sure to seal tightly or the sauce will lose its vibrant green color.
