Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Tomatoes
- 1 medium Red Bell Pepper
- 1 medium Green Bell Pepper

- 3 Garlic cloves
- 0.5 bunch Fresh cilantro
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Start by washing all fresh vegetables and the cilantro under cold running water to remove any dirt or residue.
Dice the tomatoes into small cubes, ensuring to remove the seeds for a smoother salsa texture.
Cut the red and green bell peppers in half, remove the seeds and core, then finely chop them.
Peel and finely chop the onion, attempting to keep the pieces as uniform as possible to ensure even distribution of flavor.
Mince the garlic cloves finely or use a garlic press to extract the garlic pulp for a more intense flavor.
Chop the cilantro finely, including both the leaves and the tender stems for maximum flavor.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped tomatoes, bell peppers, onion, garlic, and cilantro.
Add the olive oil, red wine vinegar, and lemon juice to the vegetable mixture.
Season the salsa with salt and freshly ground black pepper, adjusting to your taste preference.
Stir the ingredients well to ensure everything is evenly coated with the dressing.
Cover the salsa with plastic wrap or transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least an hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve the soy-free salsa Portuguesa chilled or at room temperature as a condiment for grilled dishes, as a topping for tacos, or simply enjoy it with tortilla chips.
