Since learning from my new favorite cookbook, 50 Best Plants on the Planet, that cilantro is one of the top five most nutrient dense vegetable on the planet, I love it even more!

Over the weekend I made a huge amount of my Cilantro Chimichurri, and I’ve been enjoying it on everything this week.  I mixed it into brown rice, slathered it on a crusty slice of rustic bread, added it to a vegetable stir-fry, and marinated fish in it.

This is such a quick and easy main course, but when you make this at your next weekend dinner party, your guests will assume it took hours and be very impressed.  Trust me! 😉

This Cilantro Chimichurri is a delicious marinade for all sorts of fish and shellfish. It's especially good with salmon and shrimp.
