Electric Chimichurri Sauce

Inspired by a sauce recipe taken from Cuisine at Home Magazine, this robust and pungent chimichurri is great with anything cooked on the grill. The electric green color radiates and is an appropriate foreshadowing of the flavors packed into this tangy, flavorful sauce. Use as a marinade, baste, or sauce on the side.
