Yum, this really sounds excellent! I love how simple and natural it is, unlike a lot of packaged dressings or dips that can be loaded with preservatives – this is ideal and will definitely be on my to-make list!
cilantro for chimichurri? ignorant!
How long will this keep in the fridge? Can it be frozen?
Maybe a week? It can definitely be frozen! 🙂
This is yummy! Thanks for a simple easy recipe!
