Notes
How long does it lastThis sauce recipe will last for 2-3 weeks in the refrigerator. It needs to be kept in the fridge to keep the fresh herbs used to make it from spoiling.Why is my chimichurri sauce bitterChimichurri sauce can taste bitter either because the parsley has a bitter taste and tainted the sauce, or because the oil was over-mixed. Because of the composition of oil, if you mix it at too high a speed, then the polyphenols break away from the fatty acids, resulting in a bitter taste in your chimichurri.To avoid any bitterness, test your parsley to make sure it is not bitter before blending it and mix your oil into the sauce ingredients at a low speed.
