Today I propose a bean salad with cod or Emperor as it is called in Catalonia. A very complete salad where we have legumes, cod and vegetables, very well for summer and a way to continue eating vegetables.
We can accompany this healthy salad with legumes with all the ingredients that we like the most, as you know salads can be varied and made to our liking, so it is only a matter of giving free rein to the imagination.
Let’s go then with the step-by-step recipe for this rich white bean salad with cod, I hope you like it as much as I do!
Ingredients to make bean salad with cod:
- 1 can of cooked beans
- 2 pieces of soaked cod
- 1 green pepper
- 1 red pepper
- 2 tomatoes
- 1 spring onion
- 4 hard-boiled eggs
- 1 jar of black olives
- 1 jet of olive oil
- 1 splash of Vinegar
How to make bean salad with cod:
We prepare all the ingredients to create our white bean salad. To make this easy recipe we can use desalted cod. But if we have it dry, we put it in water for 48 hours, changing the water about three times during the process.
We prepare the beans, if we have bought them from a boat, we will wash them and drain them well. You can use canned beans, but if you have fresh beans, you can check out the recipe for fresh white bean salad to learn how to make baked beans with water. To assemble the fresh salad, we start by putting the beans in a serving dish.
Chop all the vegetables into small pieces, the green pepper, the red pepper, the onion, the tomato. Apart, we take out the strips of cod. We put all this in the source along with the cooked beans and mix well.
Dress the salad with oil and vinegar to taste. For this salad, simple vinaigrette will suffice, although you can also innovate by trying a French salad sauce or with a citrus dressing. Cut the hard- boiled eggs, put them around the salad and decorate with black olives.
