Molho Campanha (Brazilian Vinaigrette)

A finely diced relish of tomato, onion, bell pepper, and vinegar, served as a fresh, acidic counterpoint to grilled meats in Brazilian churrasco culture.

Flavor Profile

Fresh and tangy, similar in spirit to pico de gallo but with a more pronounced vinegar sharpness and bell pepper crunch.

Culinary Uses

Standard table condiment at churrascarias (Brazilian steakhouses), spooned over grilled meats to cut richness.

Regional Variations

Some versions add cilantro or parsley; vinegar-to-oil ratio varies by household, with some leaning closer to a true vinaigrette consistency.

Storage

Best fresh; refrigerate 2–3 days.
