Introduction

Chimichurri is Argentina's signature parsley-garlic sauce, traditionally served with grilled fare. This all-vegetable version lets charred seasonal produce take the lead, soaking up the garlicky, tangy sauce, smoky yet fresh, a healthy star of grilling season.

Wellness Benefits

  • Parsley and garlic move qi, are antibacterial and cut grease; rich in vitamin C and antioxidants to aid circulation and immunity.
  • Colorful vegetables clear heat and damp and ease the intestines, while olive oil adds healthy fat for a light, non-greasy dish.

Nutrition Highlights

Tips
