Wash, dry and finely chop the flat leaf parsley, cilantro and oregano. Add to a medium sized bowl or large mason jar.
Finely chop the shallots and garlic then add to the bowl.
Add in the red wine vinegar, red chile flakes, sea salt and freshly ground pepper. Stir to combine.
Drizzle in the olive oil and whisk vigorously to combine. Alternately, combine in a medium jar, seal and shake well.
