Ingredients
- 3 medium (diced) Tomatoes
- 1 medium (diced) Onion
- 1 medium (diced) Green Bell Pepper
- 3 tablespoons (finely chopped) Fresh Parsley
- 2 tablespoons Red Wine Vinegar
- 3 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Instructions
Wash all produce thoroughly under running water.
Dice the tomatoes, onion, and green bell pepper into small, uniform pieces. Transfer them to a mixing bowl.
Finely chop the parsley and add it to the bowl with the vegetables.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the red wine vinegar, olive oil, fresh lime juice, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Pour the dressing over the diced vegetables and parsley in the mixing bowl.
Gently toss everything together using a spoon or spatula. Make sure the dressing evenly coats all the ingredients.
If desired, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water to adjust the consistency of the vinagrete.
Let the vinagrete sit for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve fresh as a side dish, condiment, or salad topping.
