Macadamia Free Herb & Garlic Chimichurri
Bright, herby, and punchy with garlic and a gentle kick of heat, this chimichurri is the kind of sauce that makes everything it touches taste better. Fresh flat-leaf parsley and cilantro form the backbone, while minced garlic, crushed red pepper flakes, and a squeeze of lemon juice layer in complexity that store-bought condiments simply can't match. Whisking the olive oil in slowly gives the sauce a beautifully cohesive texture — glossy, vibrant, and ready to cling to whatever you drizzle it over. That short 15-minute rest at room temperature is the secret step that lets the herbs soften and the flavors fully bloom, so don't skip it. Every ingredient here is naturally free from tree nuts of any kind, so there's zero need to scrutinize labels or worry about hidden additions. Spoon it over grilled steak, roasted vegetables, or crusty bread and watch it disappear fast.
