(Redirected from Salsa portuguesa)
Vinagrete

Vinagrete or molho à campanha is a typical Brazilian condiment made of chopped tomato, chopped onion, olive oil, vinegar, either parsley or sweet peppers, and salt. It usually accompanies salads, grilled meat, feijoada, pastel and roasted chicken.[1]

It's similar to pebre and pico de gallo, spicy Chilean and Mexican condiments with similar ingredients, salsa criolla and llajwa.[2]

Argentina

[edit]

In Argentina, salsa portuguesa refers to a cooked mixture of tomato, bell peppers and onions,[3] used in Brazil as a carne moída or hot dog sauce.[citation needed] In Brazil the version consumed by itself is referred as molho à campanha, named after the most traditional area of Rio Grande do Sul, a praîrie that is land of the Brazilian gaúchos (the Brazilian version is always finely chopped and raw and generally includes also vinegar, olive oil, salt and cheiro-verde—very finely chopped parsley and welsh onions—or spice).
