Every ingredient is stocked at any major Charlotte grocer—Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Kroger, and Walmart all carry fresh parsley, garlic, oregano (dried is fine here), olive oil, red wine vinegar, and red pepper flakes without a second trip. At roughly $6 to $8 total for a half-cup of vibrant sauce, the cost per serving is genuinely cheap, especially since this keeps for a week refrigerated and extends far beyond two servings when used as a condiment. The stated 15 minutes is honest; it's just rough-chop and stir, no cooking. The only real drawback is that chimichurri is an accent rather than a main, so you're buying it to serve alongside meat or vegetables you're already planning, which is the nature of the dish rather than a flaw.
