Chimichurri

 I found that curled parsley has a fresh taste and good for gut health. I was looking for recipes that uses this lovely leaf. My kids love tabbouleh, Lebanese salad which is our favorite. I wanted to do more than that. Came across this lovely Argentinian pesto/sauce. I decided to add few more ingredients to suit my taste. It is just amazing! Fresh tasting and extremely delicious. We enjoyed it on crisp toast and also on lightly flavored tofu that was sautéed in olive oil and seasoning. I plan to toss some boiled pasta too next time. Goodness and taste in one dish.
