For the best flavor, allow the chimichurri to sit for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Store leftover chimichurri in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The color may fade slightly, but the flavor will remain delicious. Feel free to experiment with other herbs! Parsley, mint, or even a touch of oregano can add interesting nuances to this versatile sauce.
