Have you ever made a chimichurri sauce? It is very similar to pesto in color and uses, but the flavors are very different. It’s an Argentinean condiment that is popular throughout Latin American Cuisine. There are many recipes, but I like this recipe with parsley, cilantro, lime juice, and a sweeter vinegar like balsamic or apple cider. Great to pare with Blood Orange Fennel Salad, The Best Brown Rice, and Cuban Style Grilled Flank Steak.

*Read vinegar ingredients to ensure no added sugars or other processed ingredients. Vinegar is considered a gray area on the Paleo diet.
- The Cuban Style flank steak has a citrus mojo sauce in the recipe. Chimichurri sauce comes from Argentina. I serve both the citrus mojo sauce and the chimichurri sauce because I can’t decide which is the best.
