    This is a delicious, yet very simple salad from Antonio Carluccio that is traditionally made with salt cod. Unfortunately, I cannot get it where we live, so I have used fresh cod instead. Below is my adaptation to his recipe. According to the author, "salt cod was enjoyed all over Italy and was a staple of Catholic Italy, often being eaten during Lent. It was historically very useful for travellers as it could be carried without refrigeration, but nowadays it is mostly eaten because people like its salty taste and flavour". And that can also be said for Catalonia, where it used to be a poor man's food, but nowadays it is a major part of the Catalan cuisine with many delicious and creative recipes available. Loved the simplicity of this one.
