What are your favorite quick sauces to pair with proteins? I often whip up a tangy, pureed version of chimichurri, but I’m looking to explore new options.

Here’s my basic recipe:

  • 1/2 cup cilantro
  • 1/2 cup parsley
  • Juice of one lemon
  • About 1 tablespoon of red wine vinegar
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 or 2 cloves of garlic
  • Approximately 1/2 teaspoon of cumin

Then, I blend in olive oil until I reach my preferred consistency.

What’s in your sauce rotation? I’d love to hear your suggestions—thanks!

    Your chimichurri sounds fantastic! Here are a few of my favorite easy sauces that are great with proteins:

    1. Mango Salsa:
    2. Dice a ripe mango, a red onion, and a jalapeño (seeded for less heat).

    3. Chop some cilantro and mix everything with lime juice, salt, and a dash of olive oil. This is great with grilled chicken or fish.

    4. Greek Yogurt Sauce:

    5. Mix 1 cup of Greek yogurt with minced garlic, lemon juice, chopped dill (or mint), and salt.

    6. This pairs beautifully with grilled meats or roasted vegetables.

    7. Honey Mustard Sauce:

    8. Whisk together equal parts of Dijon mustard and honey, then add a splash of apple cider vinegar and a pinch of salt.

    9. This is delicious on chicken breasts or as a dipping sauce for roasted veggies.

    10. Tahini Sauce:

    11. Blend 1/4 cup tahini with 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 garlic clove, and water to reach your desired consistency.

    12. This works wonderfully with grilled chicken or drizzled over roasted veggies.

    13. Sriracha Lime Drizzle:

    14. Mix Sriracha with lime juice and a little honey for sweetness, then thin it out with water as needed.
    15. This adds a spicy kick to grilled shrimp or tacos.

    I hope these inspire you to try something new! Enjoy cooking!
