A Brazilian-style molho vinagrete — more salsa than dressing. Goes with everything grilled.

Method

  1. Combine the vinegar, olive oil, and garlic in a bowl and whisk to emulsify.
  2. Add the chilli, green pepper, tomato, and onion. Stir well.
  3. Season generously. Leave to stand for at least 15 minutes before serving so the vegetables soften slightly.

Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 4 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic, very finely minced
  • 1 fresh red chilli, finely diced
  • 1/2 green pepper, very finely diced
  • 1 ripe tomato, deseeded and finely diced
  • 1/2 small onion, very finely diced
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Hints & Tips

  • All the vegetables should be cut very finely — this is a sauce, not a salsa.
  • Makes ahead well; keeps in the fridge for 2 days.
