Vinagrete

Molho Vinagrete is a Brazilian condiment similar to Mexican Pico de Gallo but milder. It's made with fresh ingredients like chopped tomatoes and onions and a tangy oil-vinegar base. It's a perfect complement to any Brazilian dish, especially churrasco. The key to the perfect Molho Vinagrete is finely chopping the tomatoes and onions, which adds a burst of flavor with every bite.
