Cultured Palate: International Dishes from Brazil

2. Vinagrete
A typical Brazilian condiment that can be found on tables all over the country is vinagrete, a salsa-like concoction that’s made of chopped veggies (mostly tomatoes, onion, and peppers) tossed with vinegar, oil, and salt. Unlike the vinaigrette we know in North America, the Brazilian vinagrete refers to the entire dish, rather than just the dressing.
One of the reasons why it’s so popular is because it provides a much-needed palate cleanser during meat-heavy Brazilian meals, and can be spooned on top of almost any dish to give it a bit of extra flavor.
