There’s no lettuce in this salad, but plenty of color!

It was created by Fogo de Chão, a Brazilian churrascaria (steakhouse) with locations in the U.S. and Brazil.

The chefs have combined three bright colors tossed in a light vinaigrette. It’s easy to do the same at home.

For the green: sugar snap peas (whole pods) and shelled English peas (a.k.a. green peas, garden peas).

For the purple: shredded red cabbage; you can also red onion to taste.

For the red: halved cherry tomatoes; you can substitute or add red bell peppers.

You can add additional seasonings as you wish—anything from fresh herbs to toasted sesame seeds.

Serve it as a side with your favorite main. It will set off conventional proteins—typically shades of beige and brown—nicely.
