This bright and zesty chimichurri packs a punch of fresh flavor. Made with chile peppers, parsley, oregano and cilantro, it’s a bold, herbaceous sauce that instantly elevates anything it touches. Drizzle it over grilled meats, veggies or even roasted potatoes for the ultimate flavor boost—you’ll never go back to plain condiments again. —Elise Jesse, Cincinnati, Ohio
