  2. Drizzle in red wine vinegar and olive oil, mixing until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning.

Notes

Don’t be afraid to use the grill marks as a guide! If they're pretty, your dinner is already 50% more impressive. Leftover chimichurri sauce can be used on other meats, grilled veggies, or as a dip. If the sauce looks a bit lumpy, embrace it; lumpy means homemade and cozy!
