Notes
** Herb bunches come in different sizes, usually, organic herbs come in smaller bunches and conventional herbs bunches are larger. (Weird but true) This recipe just barely reaches the minimum capacity for easy blending in my Vitamix so, if you have a smaller, single serving bullet-type blender that will work beautifully! I don’t mind using the tamper on my blender and stopping a few times to scrape the sides and potentially having a more rustic texture. To avoid this completely you can easily double the recipe and have no issues blending whatsoever.
** This homemade cilantro chimichurri is one of those sauces that come together over time. When testing salt/acid levels, I usually blend everything as listed and wait 10-15 minutes for that maturity status:adult before adjusting seasonings. If things are tasting a little dull and muted (like where are you hiding fresh herbs?!) you probably need more salt. If things are pretty boring and one-dimensional, add another dash of vinegar.
