I love avocados and I love chimichurri sauce, so I figured why not put the too together!  The combination of the tangy sauce and creamy avocado create a dressing that goes great on just about anything!  When I am grilling up a simple skirt steak and don’t have enough time to marinate the meat, this is one of my go-to recipes to whip up to add all the flavor.  This also goes great on grilled chicken, salmon or over a salad.

Ingredients:

• ½ cup cilantro
• ¾ cup parsley
• 1 clove garlic
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tbsp dried oregano
• 3 tbsp red wine vinegar
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• ¼ cup + 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 avocados, diced

Directions:

• Combine cilantro, parsley, garlic, salt, dried oregano, red wine vinegar in a food processor and pulse until smooth.
• Drizzle in olive oil while the processor is running.
• Place diced avocado in a medium bowl.
• Pour chimichurri sauce over avocado and mix to combine.  Be sure to mix carefully so that the avocado does not become mashed.
• Serve over your favorite proteins such as steak, grilled chicken or salmon.  Also acts as a great salad dressing.
