Fresh herby, tangy avocado sauce begging to be swooped over juicy, hot-from-the-grill steaks. Mahvelous merger.
Avocado Chimichurri.....
It's fast.
It's easy.
It's green.
It's sunshiney.
It's all tangy and creamy.
It's madly in love with tender, juicy, grilled steak.
It's packing a punch of flavours.
It's softly whispering of spicy heat.
It's always singing:
