This can be used over meat, fish or chicken but I absolutely LOVE to drizzle a little over white rice. It's great over salad too.

Traditionally served over meat and/or beans this sauce can be as hot as you like it. As a guide - cayenne peppers are roughly 10 times hotter than your run-of-the-mill jalapeno. As Ms. Hilton would say _"That's hot!"_ ;-)

Brazilian Garlic Sauce (Molho de Alho) image

This is a sauce seen commonly at many Brazilian churrascarias and restaurants. It is most often used as a condiment for grilled meats and sometimes as the topping for what Brazilians call garlic bread. Good stuff. Serve with grilled chicken or steak. Good with pasta, too.

Tips:

Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your vinaigrette will taste. Whenever possible, use freshly squeezed lemon juice, lime juice, or vinegar, and freshly chopped herbs.
Experiment with different oils: Olive oil is a classic choice for vinaigrette, but you can also use other oils, such as avocado oil, walnut oil, or grapeseed oil. Each oil has its own unique flavor, so experiment to find one that you like.
Add some mustard: Mustard helps to emulsify the vinaigrette and gives it a creamy texture. You can use Dijon mustard, yellow mustard, or even whole grain mustard.
Season to taste: Once you've mixed your vinaigrette, taste it and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or herbs.
Use vinaigrette within a few days: Vinaigrette is best when used fresh. It will keep in the refrigerator for a few days, but the flavor will start to deteriorate after that.

Conclusion:

Vinaigrette is a versatile and delicious dressing that can be used on a variety of dishes. It's easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. So next time you're looking for a healthy and flavorful dressing, give vinaigrette a try. You won't be disappointed!
