This spicy Jalapeno Chimichurri Sauce is a fresh take on a more traditional chimichurri. It’s unexpectedly slightly sweet with a tangy brightness that pairs well with so many dishes. Use it to top your favorite veggies, as a dip, or even as a salad dressing!
I really love a good chimichurri sauce. This spicy, delicious sauce originated in Argentina and usually has parsley, garlic, oregano, and spice from crushed red pepper. I decided to make a totally new spin on this classic and spice mine with jalapeno, accent with lime, and add a squeeze of maple syrup. It came together even better than I hoped it would!
Since it’s got so much spicy, robust flavor from the jalapeno and garlic, I added lime for some tang and brightness. At the last minute I tried it with some maple syrup to balance out the spice, and it was like the secret sauce that took it to the next level!
Maybe the best part of this Jalapeno Chimichurri Sauce is how easy it is. Everything gets measured, tossed into the blender, and after a couple pulses it’s totally ready to serve. It’s a crowd pleasing garnish with a vibrant, gorgeous color!
