Yes, I like warm food cooler months and cool food in hotter months. Anyone else?

Place all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.
Once I had my zucchini mixture roasting I made the chimichurri so that both were ready at the same time.
That first bite was a bit sharp, but as I continued eating, each bite got better and better.
I will be making this one again.
Thanks for reading!
