Yield Serves 6 (main course)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 pound choice-grade skinless boneless salt cod, rinsed well
1 1/2 quart water
3 celery ribs, thinly sliced crosswise
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/4 cup small pimiento-stuffed green olives, chopped
1/4 cup Kalamata or other brine-cured black olives, pitted and chopped
1/3 cup chopped drained bottled roasted red peppers
1/2 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
1/2 cup small fresh basil leaves
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon red-wine vinegar, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon sugar
3 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Put cod in a large bowl and cover with cold water by 2 inches. Soak cod, chilled, changing water 3 times a day, up to 3 days (see cooks' note, below). Drain and chill until ready to use.
  • Drain cod and transfer to a 5- to 6-quart pot with 1 1/2 quarts water. Bring just to a simmer and remove from heat. (Cod will just flake; do not boil or it will become tough.) Gently transfer cod with a slotted spoon to a platter to cool slightly.
  • Shred cod and stir together with celery, garlic, olives, roasted peppers, parsley, and basil.
  • Stir together lemon juice, vinegar, sugar, and oil, then pour over salad, tossing to coat well. Season with pepper and chill, covered, at least 1 1/2 hours for flavors to develop.

This salad is okay, but it's not anything special. I wouldn't go out of my way to make it again.

I would not recommend this recipe to anyone. It's a waste of time and money.

This salad is not worth the effort. It's not very tasty and it's not very filling.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my salad didn't look anything like the picture.

This recipe is too complicated. There are too many ingredients and steps involved.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my salad didn't turn out very well. The baccalà was too salty and the salad was too bland.

I'm not a big fan of baccalà, but I really enjoyed this salad. The flavors were well-balanced and the salad was very refreshing.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover baccalà. I had some leftover from a previous meal and this was a perfect way to use it up.

This recipe was absolutely delicious! The baccalà was cooked perfectly and the salad was light and refreshing. I will definitely be making this again.
