Put all ingredients into a blender or food processor and puree until smooth, about 30-60 seconds.
Taste the chimichurri and adjust the flavors, adding more vinegar or salt if needed.

Notes

For a chunkier texture, consider hand-chopping the ingredients. This sauce is best enjoyed fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 2 days. For long-term storage, it can be frozen in ice cube trays.
