Bacolao and Eusaladilla Rusa

 Bacolao
 
In Spain, this dried salted cod is everywhere … not a big fan, yet, but its early days and as it is also in Sicily in the south Italy I'm sure we will see and try it again again.
Mission - try again and report back if my next try is a better experience!!

 
Eusaladilla Rusa
Spain's Favourite Salad


 
This is a Russian salad and being a little bit curious when I found a English speaking Spaniard waitress I had to ask the question.
The answer was … the only connection this salad has to Russia it that this salad is served cold and so is Russia! Ok then, thanks for that…
We have had this several times as part of a tapas with bread, as a spread or today it was served wrapped in smoked salmon.
 
So still looking at how to make it.
Hint one
I know it has eggs on it !!!
I could see small carrot cubes
real detective Pete
Plus could taste of potato, mayonnaise and tuna

  1. The name for potato salad in Spain is ensaladilla rusa, or Russian Salad. Why? It is said that a Russian invented the salad in the late XIX century. We don't know what the original Russian salad was like, but the Spanish have made their own version and eat it as a tapa or a side dish. Many families even prepare home-made mayonnaise to dress it.
