Cod liver salad with potatoes and beans
6 servings
60 minutes
A modern take on the same cod liver salad that was a staple at every Soviet feast. Instead of turning the liver and egg into a monolithic grey mass, we fluffed it up with a pile of green leaves. Classic vinaigrette dressing, olives, green beans, tomatoes and finely chopped sprats, merging into a common chorus of ingredients, give the salad Mediterranean notes, bringing to mind Nicoise.
