Recipe of Cod cheese.

Vida Recetas Editorial

Cod cheese (esqueixada de bacalao) is a traditional Catalan salad that stands out for its freshness and simplicity. Originating from Catalonia, this dish is made with desalted cod, tomato, onion, and olives, all dressed with extra virgin olive oil. Our version adds a modern touch with avocado, which brings creaminess and softens the salty flavor of the fish.

This recipe is ideal for those looking for a light, nutritious, and quick dish, perfect as an appetizer or for a summer meal. Cod is rich in protein and omega-3 fatty acids, while vegetables provide vitamins and fiber. Additionally, it is gluten-free and low in carbohydrates.

Variations and tips

  • If you can't find desalted cod, you can use salted cod and desalt it in water for 48 hours, changing the water every 8 hours.
  • Instead of avocado, you can make a vinaigrette with mustard or light mayonnaise.
  • For a more intense flavor, add a pinch of sweet paprika or a few drops of sherry vinegar.

The result is a colorful salad with varied textures and a balanced flavor that everyone will love. Go ahead and prepare it to surprise your family with this classic of Mediterranean cuisine!
