Codfish Salad

Codfish salad is a dish I really like and I often make it even in summer… yes, also because I generally prepare it as an appetizer for Christmas Eve or New Year’s Eve dinner, and it really makes a great impression!!!

In summer, they are always very welcome, and it’s a dish that can be prepared in advance, for example, coming back from the beach, it’s convenient to find a ready meal in the fridge.
Let’s say that at home I am the big fan of such dishes, maybe my husband and son a little less, but I make it anyway and prepare other things for them.
It doesn’t take much time to make, and I must say it keeps well for 4-5 days if you put it in a bowl with a lid that closes well, but above all, you need to be generous with the oil to keep it a few days longer.
If you make some of my recipes, send me the photos and I will publish them on my page with your name.
Try to make it following my recipe and I am sure of your positive feedback.
