Esqueixada is a typical salad of Catalan cuisine that consists of desalted and torn dried and salted cod mixed with vegetables, such as tomatoes, onions, and sometimes pepper. The tomatoes may be chopped finely or grated. It is dressed with olive oil. Olives are usually added, as well as (occasionally) other ingredients, such as hard-boiled eggs. It is typically eaten during the summer.
Exqueixar in Catalan is a verb that means "to tear" or "to rip", which refers to what is done to the salted cod during the preparation of the dish.
