    Chimichurri sauce is a great sauce for grilled steak or chicken. It's quick and easy to put together. And it's gluten-free, dairy-free, and paleo.

    Chimichurri sauce is a great sauce for grilled steak or chicken. | Gluten-free, dairy-free and paleo | cookeatpaleo.comChimichurri sauce is a great sauce for grilled meat or chicken. It's quick and easy to put together. And it's one of my favorite ways to use fresh summer herbs. I made it today with Italian flat leaf parsley, but it would be wonderful with some cilantro mixed in as well.

    With olive oil, garlic, lemon and herbs, this sauce is bright and fresh — perfect for summer grilling. You can just throw everything in the food processor. A couple of quick pulses is all it takes to chop and blend the ingredients. As with any recipe using fresh ingredients, it's important to taste as you go. Once you pulse the ingredients, taste and add more garlic, lemon or salt if needed.

        Thanks, Lisa! I'm so glad you liked it. This recipe is pretty flexible, so if it tasted good it was the right chipotle flakes. 🙂

      What about storage? And how long does it last?

        Hi Audrey - I store this in the refrigerator, but I think it is best used within a day or two.

      This really is great with everything. I also use it as a salad dressing. It does get a bit salty tasting after a week or so but I still love it!
