Chimichurri Sauce

Get ready to throw out your A-1 sauce because after tasting this sauce you will never go back. This is the perfect sauce to serve with grilled meats. It originated in Argentina and I got the recipe from a cute little Argentinian man....however I'm not a huge parsley fan which is what the original recipe calls for. So I do what I always do... I completed changed it. I made this for my girls on our Girls weekend in Tahoe and they loved it and requested the recipe so this post is for them!!

It's really easy. In a food processor or blender add olive oil, lemon juice, basil, cilantro, garlic, salt, carrots and nuts and blend until all combined.

Serve with a your favorite grilled meat. I also added this sauce on my asparagus and my salad the next day as a salad dressing...really I could probably drink the sauce it's sooo good!!!

3/4 tea Salt

Strawberry Delight Jell-o Salad

 

My daughters coach hates chocolate.

(I know, she is crazy right?!) 

She would always ask me to make her this, as strawberries are her favorite.  I would just call it jell-o salad, but her would call it "Strawberry Delight Jell-o".  So Brittiany, this one if for you!

These are what you need.  Now lets get started.  I like to put the pineapple in the freezer for an hour.  That way it helps to get the jello to set up quicker.  I froze the Strawberries earlier in the Summer.

 1-6 oz package of Strawberry Jello. Cook with 1 cup of boiling water.  When the liquid is clear.  Remove from heat and add 1 cup of ice cold water.
Add frozen sliced strawberries, let them thaw.

Add diced Banana and cold pineapple.
Pour half of the Jell-o mixture in a 8X8 pan

Pictured is a 9X13 pan.  
I doubled the recipe. we were having a big group. 
With everything being cold, it will set up quickly.
Put in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes.  It should be firm enough to spoon over the sour cream.

I know you might be thinking... Sour Cream?  But with all the sweetness of the fruit and jell-o.  It really adds a nice flavor!

Spoon over the other half of the Jell-o 
over the sour cream.  
Place in the refrigerator to set up completely.
Enjoy!
