Chimichurri and pesto are very closely related and made with very similar ingredients. Fresh herbs, your favorite greens along with salt, garlic and typically olive oil. One hails from Italy (hello basil pesto) and the other possibly from Argentina. The little tang from the use of vinegar kicks chimichurri up to a whole new level however and it’s remarkable what it does to the flavor of the foods you use it on.
