What Is Avocado Chimichurri Sauce?
Traditional chimichurri is a loose, oil-based herb sauce from Argentina. Guacamole, on the other hand, is creamy and avocado-forward.
This recipe blends both styles into one creamy green sauce that’s:
Smooth like guacamole
Fresh and herby like chimichurri
Tangy from lime and vinegar
Gently spicy from red pepper flakes
It’s not quite guacamole, not quite chimichurri… and that’s why it’s addictive.
