Description:
"Oh, how I love sauces. The first time I had a homemade chimichurri sauce, I was blown away at the incredible, savory flavors it had, and how it really enhanced the flavor of my steak. My husband is also a big fan if chimichurri sauce, so I decided it was
time to start making it at home more often. Even though the main ingredients in a traditional chimichurri recipeare practically calorie free, the substantial amount of oil thatmost recipes use end of making the sauce laden with extra fat. Thus making it
pretty high is Weight Watchers Points. And when you are using a good chunk of your Points Plus on steak, the last thing you want to do is double that with an oily sauce. However, my light chimichurri sauce recipe has eliminated that concern. Each 2 tbsp
serving is just 1 Points +. And it still has all the flavors that are expected, just altered a bit to make it healthier. Not only does it make a fantastic sauce for steak, chicken or seafood, it is also an amazing marinade. It’s so intensely flavored, yet
so bright and refreshing. This Weight Watchers Chimichurri Recipe has now become a staple in my house. Enjoy!"
