While traditional chimichurri follows this basic formula, regional variations include:
Red Chimichurri: Adding paprika and red bell peppers
Uruguayan Style: Including carrots and red peppers
Modern Twist: Adding cilantro or mint
Spicy Version: Increasing chili content or adding cayenne
Remember, authentic chimichurri relies on simple, fresh ingredients and proper technique rather than complicated additions. The key is allowing the herbal flavors to shine while maintaining a perfect balance with the garlic and vinegar.
