Gettin' Saucey: Chimichurri
Looking for a way to add some flavor to your grilled meats that is not your typical condiment? Chimichurri is PERFECT.
Let’s talk about parsley…
Parsley is an emerald green herb with a garden-fresh flavor. In addition to the great flavor, parsley holds a number of health benefits including…
Gives a dose of vitamins A, B, C, & K
Provides minerals like iron & potassium
Helps to detoxify the body thanks to its diuretic nature
Reduces water retention
Helps to balance blood sugar
May improve immune function and help you fight disease
Reduce pain and inflammation
Chimichurri is an easy and unique way to up your intake of parsley. It can be put on really any kind of steak (grass-fed beef, lamb, or pork), chicken, with seafood (i.e. salmon or shrimp), on top of veggies, and even tastes great as a dip for crackers or gluten free bread!
Happy eating!
