    We've been loving tri-tip lately and once we made this creamy avocado chimichurri we KNEW we had to share it with you! This is more of a recipe for the chimichurri than the steak but we'll share how to make the steak as well. But, really, this sauce is the BOMB. SO GOOD!

    We're not new to chimichurri, we use it on a ton of things but this new avocado chimichurri takes the classic sauce to a whole new level. It's creamy, it's tangy, it's herby. Well, it's just perfect!

    The avocado also adds some extra healthy fats to the sauce along with the extra-virgin olive oil. We love serving this sauce on steak but it's great on just about any protein and perfect with grilled vegetables. It also makes a great salad dressing. You can thin it out a bit with water or simply add the chimichurri to a large salad bowl and toss with the greens.

    I don't know about you but I can guarantee this sauce is going to be a staple in our refrigerator each week. What an easy away to add a punch of flavor to just about any dish.
