This twist on an Argentinian green sauce is an excellent topping for meats and fish and it is completely Kenzai friendly! Use it to spice up your protein choices and as part of your veggie intake. I use it here as a topping to simple grilled chicken wings that are lightly marinated (usually overnight) but you can put it on beef, chicken breasts or goes well on a firm white fish. Adjust the ingredients to suit your desired spice level and feel free to make a big batch of it to use throughout the week.
