BRAZILIAN VINAIGRETTE

Brazilian Vinaigrette image

This can be used over meat, fish or chicken but I absolutely LOVE to drizzle a little over white rice. It's great over salad too.

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

1 cup green bell pepper
1 cup red bell pepper
1/2 cup onion
1 cup tomatoes
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

Dice peppers, onions, and tomatoes.
Mix all of the ingredients in a bowl.
Let mixture sit for a while to bring out the flavors. (I prefer the vinaigrette a little on the colder side so I refrigerate it).
** Side note: If you're going to add salt do it just before serving (salt will cause the tomatoes to dehydrate.) Enjoy!

BRAZILIAN VINAIGRETTE SAUCE (MOLHO DE VINAGRETE)

Brazilian Vinaigrette Sauce (Molho De Vinagrete) image

Traditionally served over meat and/or beans this sauce can be as hot as you like it. As a guide - cayenne peppers are roughly 10 times hotter than your run-of-the-mill jalapeno. As Ms. Hilton would say _"That's hot!"_ ;-)

PICO DE GALLO

Pico de Gallo image

This easy pico de gallo recipe is a classic for good reason. It pairs with just about everything! My tip is to let it chill for an hour or two before serving to help the flavors blend. Also, it's best to serve it the same day that it's made. -Jeannie Trudell, Del Norte, Colorado
