For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes for a subtle kick. If you prefer a smoother chimichurri, you can pulse the ingredients briefly in a food processor, but be careful not to over-process it – you want to retain some texture. This chimichurri is best served at room temperature to allow the flavors to fully bloom. Remove it from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before serving.
