This spicy chimichurri seasoning has all the delicious flavors of chimichurri sauce packed into a dry rub. It's herby, peppery, lemony and perfect on chicken and steaks.

Recipe ingredients and notes:

You can either make dried lemon zest yourself or buy dried minced lemon peel from a spice shop for this seasoning. I prefer dried lemon zest because it is finer and therefore distributes more evenly with the herbs and spices. But either one works.

Parsley, lemon zest, pepper, salt, oregano, garlic powder and crushed red pepper flakes.
