Origin: Brazil. 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.
