Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh cilantro
- 1 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 1/2 cup fresh basil
- 4 cloves garlic, peeled
- 1 jalapeno, veins removed, seeds divided
- 1 shallot, peeled
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1/4 cup olive oil plus more if desired
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1/2 tsp EACH chili powder, dried oregano
- 1/4 tsp EACH salt, pepper
- 1 large mango finely diced
Instructions
- Pulse the cilantro, parsley, basil, garlic, jalapeno (without seeds) and shallot in blender until coarsely chopped, pushing sides down as needed.
- Add honey, oil, vinegar, chili powder, salt and pepper. Continue to pulse to make a soupy vinaigrette, adding additional oil if you prefer a thinner chimichurri.
- Taste and add jalapeno seeds, a little at a time, to reach desired heat (optional).
- Transfer the chimichurri to a bowl and fold in the diced mango.
- Chimichurri is best if allowed to sit, covered, for 2 hours before serving to allow flavors to meld. If not serving for a few hours, chill in refrigerator then allow to return to room temperature before serving.
