A creamy avocado sauce with fresh parsley chimichurri mixed in!
Chimichurri, an Argentinian green sauce made with parsley, garlic, olive oil, oregano and red wine vinegar, is one of my favourite summer ingredients, especially with grilled meats! I recently made a batch of chimichurri and in addition to using it on grilled meat I also mixed some into a mashed avocado to serve on top of the grilled meat! Chimichurri is amazing all by itself and it only gets better when you combine it with cool and creamy avocado and they make the perfect topping, side or spread for grilled meats!
