Chimichurri sauce is pesto's zestier, Latin cousin. It's a delicious and dead-easy sauce traditionally for grilled meats, but don't let that hold you back. This stuff is good on anything!

Put the onion, scallions, and garlic in the bowl of a food processor. Process until chopped fine/minced.
Add the cilantro and parsley to the food processor. Blend until the herbs are chopped fine.
Scrape down the bowl of the food processor. Then add the vinegar, olive oil, crushed red pepper, and salt. Pulse a few times to combine.
Move to a air tight container. Serve with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, and any other way you can think to use it. This will last in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, but I doubt it will last that long!
