You only need 5 minutes and a blender to whip this up and you'll be so glad you did. Keep it in the fridge for a lean and green dip or dressing.

Make Chimmichurri In The Blender

The beauty of this simple cilantro chimmichurii sauce is that it can be made in the blender in about 30 seconds. Chop all ingredients roughly and then just pop them in!

1. Roughly chop the cilantro, green onion, and garlic.
2. Place all ingredients (except the olive oil) into a blender or food processor.
3. Pulse until ingredients start to combine and then stream in the olive oil until it forms a "sauce."

Then put it in a Tupperware to store or serve immediately! It's delicious over pan-seared flank steaks or even roasted BBQ Cauliflower.

I also like to use it for...

• Marinades (fish, chicken, or shrimp!)
• Dressing on a salad
• Dip for veggies or over roasted vegetables
• Over eggs or avocado toast for breakfast
