My Christmas gift to you: baccala salad

I’m off work today, primarily cooking – though I might find some time to go to the shooting range and/or get some bait wet. If not today, one day this week.
A family tradition, handed down through several generations, is serving several kinds of fish for Christmas Eve dinner. I love sharing traditions and learning about other families’ specialties, so I thought I would share one of ours.
The centerpiece of our Christmas Eve meal is baccala salad. Baccala is Italian for salted cod.
Cooking and – obviously – eating are two of my passions. The one inheritance that I wanted when my mom passed on was her recipe box. Her baccala recipe was the big prize.
No one thinks they will like this when they are first told about it. You have to taste it to appreciate it. My adult kids now demand it for Christmas Eve.
