Chimichurri screams summer sauce. I love to slather it on halibut or chicken, then cook it either on the grill or cast iron skillet, chop it up and then slather more on. Steak eaters have at it too! Or toss on veggies and roast at 400º convection for 20 minutes. Or simply have it on hand to use as a side sauce for any plain protein or veggie. So so good!
