Herby green sauces like chimichurri, chermoula, zhug and salsa verde are some of my favorite condiments. They add instant salt, tang, spice and freshness wherever you add them. Though this one started as a way to stretch a bunch of wilting cilantro, the bright, spicy sauce gets used in my house more than any other. I encourage you to try it on, well, everything: grilled chicken or steamed clams, roasted broccoli, eggs, a hot dog. You can swirl it into yogurt for a quick veggie dip or stir it into mayonnaise and spread on a sandwich.
