Brazilian Vinaigrette Recipe
Brazilian Vinaigrette Relish is an excellent side dish for any type of steak. It provides a healthier alternative to steak sauces or butter. The first time that we tried this dish was at a beach side restaurant called Picanha in Baja Tijuca, Brazil. Picanha is actually a type of steak that is extremely popular in Brazil and this type of vinaigrette relish is often served with picanha and other cuts of meat.

2 Roma tomatoes, chopped
½ white onion, diced
¼ cup of diced yellow bell pepper
¼ cup of diced red bell pepper
½ cup water
½ cup vegetable oil
½ cup white vinegar
¾ tbsp kosher salt
