Additional flavorings such as paprika, cumin, thyme, lemon, basil, cilantro (coriander), and bay leaf may be included. In its red version, tomato and red bell pepper may also be added. It can also be used as a marinade for grilled meat.

Chimichurri is also available bottled or dehydrated for preparation by mixing with oil and water. Variants may substitute herbs such as cilantro, cilantro, shiso, etc. for the parsley.
