Notes

Chimichurri sauce can last up to 3 weeks in the fridge or 6 months in the freezer. In Argentina, many keep a jar of chimichurri sauce in the refrigerator. As it ages, it’s vibrant color mellows, but it is still good. Argentine chimichurri sauce does not need to be made fresh at each serving.
