Quinoa and Roasted Vegetables with Chimichurri Sauce

By Pavani @napavani
After making the chimichurri sauce, I was wondering how to use it. In Argentina, it is served with grilled meat. After searching a little bit, here are more uses for it in vegetarian dishes - ideas from here:
  • As a sandwich spread by mixing with mayo.
  • As pasta sauce -- just toss with hot pasta.
  • Stir in scrambled eggs.
  • Stir into mashed potatoes.
  • Use as dressing for chopped veggie salad.
