Esqueixada is a traditional Catalan salad of shredded salt cod mixed with tomatoes, onions, olive oil, and vinegar, often garnished with olives or hard-boiled eggs, and sometimes made with the addition of eggplant or bell peppers. Its name comes from the Catalan verb esqueixar, meaning to tear or shred, reflecting the traditional method of pulling the salt cod apart with the fingers rather than slicing it. Because it uses a raw-style marinated fish, though the cod is salt-cured rather than fresh, esqueixada is sometimes called the Catalan ceviche, and it is favored as a warm-weather dish commonly served as a tapa.
