SALT COD FISH SALAD
This is a wonderful salad for the summer. It is a meal all on its own. I some times like to change it around a bit, so instead of potatoes, I will at times substitute the potatoes for chickpeas or black eye beans. This is why I love this salad you can change it around to your own liking, as long as you use the main ingredient, cod, onion, olive oil, and the vinegar, the rest you can add anything. This is one of my favourite ways. In the olden days this would be a poor mans dish, people had to make do with very little, with what ever they had on hand. They had to grow everthing, and only bought what was a necessity, like fish, for here in Portugal back then fish was for the poor. Times have changed and no longer is this a poor mans dish, but rather a dish that can be savored by anyone in general, rich, or poor! I do hope you will give it a try, salted cod may not have a great smell, (LOL) But the taste is wroth it! P.S. In this recipe do NOT cook the cod. of making it
