A healthy, vibrant green dressing with zest!
Chimichurri is a piquant sauce or marinade (in South American and Mexican cooking) ~
I’ve used the ingredients and created this dressing.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups fresh parsley leaves, washed and dried (thins stems ok)
- ½ cup scallion, cleaned, 1" lengths
- 2 medium fresh garlic clove, peeled
- ¼ teaspoon hot chile flakes
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
- 6 low fat greek style yogurt
Instructions
- Place the first 7 ingredients in the carafe of a blender. Add half of the extra virgin olive oil - 2 T. Start on very low speed to blend, and slowly move to medium speed until the dressing is slightly pureed. Add the 6 T. yogurt, and blend until almost smooth. With the motor running, drizzle in the remaining 2 T. of olive oil Refrigerate the dressing in an airtight glass container for up to two weeks.
- This is a thick dressing. If you would like to thin bit, add a T. of water or oil.
- Serve with my: Salad Wedge with Chimichurri Dressing, Feta, Radishes and Pepitas (see recipe.)
