Originally from Argentina, the traditional chimichurri recipe is mostly herbs parsley, oregano, garlic, olive oil, vinegar, and salt. It is a much-loved parsley sauce that is added to meat and veggies as a relish/condiment, especially loved during BBQ season!

Is chimichurri spicy?

Traditionally no, but for our Gran Luchito version we have added chipotle chillies to the recipe in the form of our Spicy Taco Seasoning, and so there is a bit of heat, yes.

What is the difference between chimichurri and salsa verde?

Mexican salsa verde is mostly made with tomatillos and chillies, whereas chimichurri is more herby!
