Sometimes called Argentinian pesto, chimichurri is a raw sauce typically made primarily with chopped parsley, minced garlic, olive oil and oregano. Our recipe adds a bit of cilantro, lime and jalapeño for added brightness and a mild kick. While chimichurri is traditionally served with grilled beef, making it a no-brainer with burgers, it's also a great compliment to intensely flavored fish (like salmon) and even chicken.

When first introduced in our stores about three years ago, few knew much about chimichurri or how to use it. These days, it's a staple in the Dips & Spreads Section of the Deli Department, and customers simply can't get enough.

This tangy, garlicy, fresh herb flavor brightens any dish it's used on. Below are three of our seasonal favorites.
