The Colorful Soul of Argentine Flavors

Vibrant, zesty, and bursting with fresh aromas — salsa criolla is much more than a garnish, it’s a celebration of color and taste, served at almost every Argentine table next to grilled meats, empanadas, or rustic bread.

Instructions

  1. Chop with precision: Dice all vegetables into small, even pieces. The key is uniformity for both texture and presentation.
  2. Season: Add salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  3. Add vinegar: Pour in the vinegar to bring out the acidity and brightness of the ingredients.
  4. Cover with oil: Mix well and ensure all vegetables are covered. The oil acts as a seal and preservative.
  5. Let it rest: Transfer to a sealed jar and let it sit for at least 3 days in the refrigerator. This resting time allows the flavors to blend and deepen.

    Tip: The longer it rests, the better it gets. Just give it a stir before serving.

Ingredients

  • 2 onions
  • 1 red pepper
  • 1 yellow pepper
  • 1 green pepper
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • Ground black pepper (to taste)
  • 1⁄2 cup white vinegar
  • 1 cup oil (sunflower or vegetable
    recommended)
