Made with fresh tomatoes, onions, green bell peppers, and a splash of vinegar, it offers a refreshing crunch with an adjustable kick of heat. It is traditionally served alongside feijoada, using a splash of the bean broth to tie the flavors together. ![](https://ivu.org/images/yootheme/icon-clock-large.svg) Total Time 15 mins ![](https://ivu.org/images/yootheme/icon-difficulty-easy.svg) Difficulty Easy ### Translate this page to your language!

Mix the minced onion, chopped tomatoes, minced green bell pepper, vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, and salt together in a bowl. 2. Add water if the vinegar taste is too strong. 3. Just before serving, add 1/2 cup of feijoada liquid and 1 or 2 finely chopped malagueta peppers. ### Notes: Author's note: I usually do not add the malagueta peppers but use a few drops of the feijoada liquid instead. Vegan note: Ensure the feijoada liquid used is from a vegan feijoada (a plant-based black bean stew), as traditional feijoada contains pork and beef. **Serving info:** Total recipe: 680g · Yields 7 portions · Portion size: 97g | Nutrient | Per 100g | Per Portion | % Daily Value | |---|---|---|---| | Energy (kcal) | 60 | 58 | 3% | | Carbohydrates (g) | 5.1 | 4.9 | 2% | | ↳ of which sugars (g) | 2.6 | 2.5 | 5% | | Dietary fiber (g) | 1.3 | 1.3 | 5% | | Protein (g) | 1.0 | 1.0 | 2% | | Total fat (g) | 4.1 | 4.0 | 5% | | ↳ Saturated (g) | 0.6 | 0.6 | 3% | | ↳ Monounsaturated (g) | 3.0 | 2.9 | - | | ↳ Polyunsaturated (g) | 0.4 | 0.4 | - | | ↳ Trans (g) | 0.0 | 0.0 | - | | Sodium (mg) | 185 | 180 | 8% | | Calcium (mg) | 15 | 15 | 1% | | Iron (mg) | 0.4 | 0.4 | 2% | | Potassium (mg) | 185 | 180 | 4% | | Vitamin C (mg) | 18.5 | 18.0 | 20% | | Vitamin B12 (µg) | 0.0 | 0.0 | 0% | ### Ingredient data sources - Onion, raw — 150g — Onions, raw — USDA SR Legacy - Tomatoes, raw — 246g — Tomatoes, red, ripe, raw, year round average — USDA SR Legacy - Green bell pepper, raw — 74g — Peppers, sweet, green, raw — USDA SR Legacy - Vinegar — 60g — Vinegar, cider — USDA SR Legacy - Olive oil — 27g — Oil, olive, salad or cooking — USDA SR Legacy - Feijoada liquid (bean broth) — 120g — Soup, black bean, canned, condensed — USDA SR Legacy ⚠️ ⚠️ = estimated or sourced outside the listed databases. % Daily Value based on FDA 2020 Daily Values for adults (2,000 kcal diet).
