     The directions should say to let it sit in refrigerator for a couple hours so the flavors will blend--and the red pepper flakes can infuse flavor to the whole bowl. - 7/14/12

     I lived in Argentina for over a year and this is an amazing sauce. Even just spread on wheat bread. In most major cities you can buy it in a jar instead of making it as well. - 7/14/12

     Wonderful stuff! We loved it! But, uh, five minutes to prepare? Took me much longer, more like 20 minutes at least, what with bumbling around, washing the cilantro and parsley and just getting things assembled. I'll make this again for sure! - 7/17/12

     I was married to a Colombian man, who introduced me to chimichurri. I love it, but I've never made it for myself before. This recipe is wonderful. - 7/14/12

     This was good but my husband does NOT like Cilantro, so I made it with and without. - 7/14/12

     Just tried this. Marinated a steak in it then put some on top to serve. Very different and a great change of pace. I left off the parsley as I am not a fan. Next time may add just a bit. I will definitely be using this more often - 9/1/12

     Too lemony for me and couldn't taste the cilantro over the parsley. - 8/18/12

     Good but not great. Fresh is good but nothing I'll return to. - 7/21/12

     I love this sauce. first ate some back in late 60's when I was in Argentina. Fifteen years later while living in Miami, reintroduced to it. Have bee making it ever since . I make it without cilantro. That's the kind I am used to. Will try it with
    for a change. Thanks. - 7/15/12

     Tried this on chicken breast as suggested and what a pop it gave to boring old chicken. Will use this often in the future - 8/1/20
