This sauce originates from Argentina. The base of this recipe is made with herbs and garlic. Surprisingly enough, I made it once with my mom years ago when she found a recipe in a magazine and I was hooked. I now make it quite often as a topping for my protein. It's vibrant green and adds a punch of freshness from the herbs and acidity.

Its amazing stuff.

Place all the ingredients in a food processor or blender, pulse until smooth. Taste and add a pinch more salt and pepper, if needed.
Pour in a serving dish as a side sauce. Top on chicken, steak, vegetables, basically anything!

Tips

If you don't want to add the extra 2 tbsp of oil, you can add 1 tbsp of water to get a looser consistency. Just add 1 tbsp at a time, to your liking.
If you don't have red wine vinegar, white vinegar works as well or if you don't have vinegar, its okay! Just add an extra tbsp of lime or lemon juice.
