notes

• Can also be used as a marinade
• The "chimichurri herbs" make great summer plants, and bonus is that you can always use them up to make extra sauce.
• I found the ratio of herbs to olive oil and vinegar in the original recipe to be off, so instead, I add enough oil and vinegar to coat the other ingredients, and then add more to taste.
