Treat your ingredients with care...
- Salted cod — Soak the salted cod in cold water for at least 24 hours, changing the water every 6-8 hours. This will help remove excess salt and rehydrate the fish. Once soaked, rinse the cod thoroughly before using in the recipe.
Tips & Tricks
- For added freshness, chill the citrus fruits in the refrigerator before peeling and segmenting them.
- Adjust the sweetness of the vinaigrette by adding more or less honey according to your taste preference.
- If you prefer a milder onion flavor, soak the sliced red onions in cold water for 10 minutes before adding them to the salad.
- Serve the Remojón Andaluz on a bed of fresh lettuce leaves for an extra touch of greenery.
- Feel free to customize the salad by adding other ingredients such as sliced boiled eggs or roasted red peppers.
Serving advice
Serve the Remojón Andaluz as a refreshing appetizer or as a light lunch alongside crusty bread. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro for an added burst of flavor.
Presentation advice
Arrange the citrus segments, salted cod, and olives on a platter, creating an appealing visual contrast. Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad just before serving to keep the colors vibrant and the flavors intact.
