Notes

*If your food processor is a 7-11 cup version, you need to make a double batch of this sauce for it to blend right. This is ideal anyways. You can use all the herbs you bought and freeze some for next time.

*Nutrition facts are estimated for the burger only, does not include extra chimichurri sauce for topping or any other topping. Does not include leftover chimichurri sauce.
