Tips/Hints:  This is a typical sauce from Argentina and Uruguay, where it is used as a dressing for meat cooked ‘a la parrilla’ (barbequed or griddled).  It is served cold to season white or red meat, chorizo, sausages, pasties etc.  Also you can use it as a dressing for salads, potatoes and hamburgers or to spread on toast.

Thanks, JuliaBalbilla.  Might use this later in the week.  I've been on the hunt for recipes that fit the Dukan Diet guidelines and this sauce looks tasty and useful for the purpose.

I love chichimurri sauce - just a quick question, what is guindilla pepper?  What could you substitute it with if needed?

Thanks
