Puerto Rican Gazpacho
Gazpacho is a Puerto Rican salted cod fish salad. The bacalao helps bring the ocean flavor to this salad, which is the key ingredient. It is made with avocados (adding extra nutrition), onions, and tomatoes. Then marinated with olive oil, salt, and pepper to taste, and squeezed lemon if desired to add a tangy flavor and freshness to the salad. This salad can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours, but it’s best when served immediately. Typically this dish is served inside a soft roll or on the side of white rice. Other healthy pairings are 1 cup of brown rice or cooked quinoa for a low-carb option.

Process
Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results
- Rinse the salt of the fish very well (2 or 3 times). You can also soak overnight or for a few hours. I usually rinse the fish very well, then boil it to remove the excess salt. Sporadically taste the fish to make sure it’s to your liking.
- Let it cool and rinse with cold water.
- In a large bowl, mix the chopped avocados, chopped onion, chopped tomatoes, olive oil, vinegar, and lemon juice.
- Pull the fish into flakes and make sure there are no stray bones.
- Add the fish to the bowl with the rest of the ingredients and mix very well.
- Add pepper to taste and salt if needed. The fish might still have some remaining salt.
- Serve immediately and ENJOY!
