Serving Size 8 servings

Ingredients

  • ½ cup parsley finely chopped (13 grams)
  • ½ small red jalapeno minced (1 Tablespoon after minced)
  • 2 cloves garlic finely minced
  • 2 Tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • ⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • ¼ teaspoon salt more to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • Finely chop your parsley, red jalapeño, and garlic. I find it easier to just do it using the good old knife and cutting board (instead of using a food processor). Plus, this is the more authentic way anyway!
  • Combine all ingredients in a jar. Let it sit for at least 1 hour, up to overnight. Enjoy!
