I’d call this a frugal recipe because it uses pantry ingredients and the two cheapest fresh herbs at the grocery store: parsley and cilantro!
This chimichurri is easy, but super, super flavorful. Use it on grilled steak, but it would also be good on chicken, pork, or toss a few tablespoons in with potato salad.




- 1/2 cup fresh parsley about 1 handful
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro about 1 handful
- 1/4 cup diced onion
- 2 garlic cloves chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar or any vinegar
- pinch of salt
- 1/4 cup olive oil
Add all ingredients except the olive oil to a food processor (I used a small one). Pulse and blend until it's well combined. Scrape down the sides if needed.
Pour in the olive oil and pulse until blended and creamy-looking.
Serve immediately and store the remainder in the fridge (sealed) for up to 3 days.
