Empedrat

Empedrat is a traditional bean-based salad originating from Catalonia. The salad is usually made with a combination of white beans (or sometimes chickpeas), cod, tomatoes, bell peppers, black olives, eggs, onions, vinegar, olive oil, and salt. The cod is crumbled and mixed with the beans, diced onions, tomatoes, bell peppers, and sliced hard-boiled eggs. Empedrat is seasoned with salt, olive oil, and vinegar, and it's then left to chill in the fridge for about an hour before consumption. This cold salad is especially popular in the summer. If white beans are unavailable, they can be replaced with chickpeas, lentils, or boiled potatoes. The name of the dish refers to its appearance because it resembles a plate full of pebbles.
