This is a very good recipe. Appreciate the amount of garlic as I'm garlic lover. However, the white balsamic made this too sweet for me so I'll swap it out for red wine vinegar next time.

The Argentinians. Aside from that, I make a traditional Argentinian Chimichurri sauce and it\u2019s amazing. Please stay true to the origin of things - they deserve the credit.
