Chimichurri is a spicy, refreshing, garlicky green condiment. Although it originated as a sauce for grilled meat in Argentina, it has such a bright zing, it would be a shame to limit its uses! I like to marinate tofu in it, or use it as a dressing in a bean salad, or serve as a simple dip for tortilla chips. If cilantro is not to your liking, you can use parsley instead.
