Which two condiments are traditionally served alongside grilled meats at an Argentine asado?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. Chimichurri (oil, vinegar, garlic, parsley, oregano, chili) and Salsa Criolla (diced onion, tomato, bell pepper)
- Step 1: Chimichurri is a savory herbaceous sauce that enhances the natural flavor of the beef without overpowering it. Step 2. Salsa criolla provides a fresh, acidic crunch with finely chopped raw vegetables. Answer: Chimichurri (oil, vinegar, garlic, parsley, oregano, chili) and Salsa Criolla (diced onion, tomato, bell pepper). Why not the others: Neither sauce contains sugar or heavy fruit purees, keeping the focus on savory herbal acidity.
