Chimichurri (Argentinean Parsley and Garlic Sauce) image

This is a regular condiment on every table in Argentina. It is drizzled on everything from grilled meats to potatoes and vegetables. This is similar to a version I had in an Argentinean restaurant. Some versions also include red pepper flakes, so feel free to add them on occasion.
