The salad recipe is simple and fast, especially if have made garlic sauce and boiled eggs a day before. Cod liver requires absolutely no preparation, just open the tin and it is ready to be added to the salad. I use arugula and a mix of Lollo Rosso, Lollo Bionda and red Oakleaf for the salad, but feel free to use any seasonal salad greens. In addition, you can add nuts, olives, and cheese to the salad too. You actually don't need a dressing for this, just toss it with all the juice and oil from the tin. But I love this garlic sauce so much that I want to use it on everything plus cod liver goes really well with garlic.
Toum, literally means garlic, is a Lebanese garlic sauce. It's very versatile and can be used in grilled meat, falafels, roasted vegetables, potatoes, pastas and salads...pretty much anything. It's made with just 4 ingredients (garlic, oil, salt and lemon juice) and can be stored in a tight-lid mason jar in the fridge for months. If you don't want garlic sauce turn golden, use nuetral oil instead of olive oil. I personally perfer olive oil. Avocado oil is a good alternative.
Cod liver is incredibly tasty and so good for you as it is chock full of fat-soluble vitamins A and D, and rich in Omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA. It has a milder flavour than sardines, less fishy, pure taste and a pink-beige colour.

- Peel the garlic cloves and place them with grey salt in the bowl of your food processor. Pulse a few times until the garlic is well minced, stopping to scrape down the sides. Add 1/3 of lemon juice and pulse a few times until everything is combined, again scraping down the sides as necessary.
- While the food processor is running, drizzle the olive oil in slowly, one tablespoon at a time. Don't try to rush the process or it won't be creamy and emulsified. Once the garlic looks emulsified by the a few tablespoons of oil, increase the speed of adding the oil and alternate with the rest of lemon juice until all the oil and lemon juice is incorporated. After about 10 minutes, it will look thickened, light and airy. Transfer to a tight-lid mason jar and store in the fridge until ready for use.
- Bring a small saucepan of water to the boil. Add eggs and simmer for 8 minutes for hard-boiled eggs. Plunge the eggs into cold water to stop the egg from cooking any further. Peel and quarter the eggs.
- Tear the salad leaves into bite-size pieces and cut the cucumber into slices. Arrange salad leaves, cucumber slices and herbs in a salad bowl or platter. Drain the cod liver (save the oil and juice to dip the bread or drink it as I did) and cut into smaller chunks. Arrange the cod liver chunks and egg quarters on the top of the salad. Sprinkle the pomegranate seeds over. Season with salt and pepper. Serve with the prepared garlic sauce.

Such a beautiful looking salad. I'm not familiar with cod liver from a tin. I've only heard of cod liver oil. The garlic sauce sounds absolutely delicious.
La salsa de ajo es un buen recurso para los intolerantes al huevo (mayonesa) o los intolerantes a la lactosa (lactonesa).
Por cierto un rica ensalada.
Besos Angie
That's one beautiful salad Angie!
Delicious and rich salad!
It´s curious! I use cod liver and pomegranate in salads too. And I also prepare a very similar sauce, it has the same ingredients and also chopped parsley. I use it to season grilled cuttlefish, clams and cockles. But I've never used this sauce in salads. I´ll try.
Greetings
...salads are great at this time of year!

Uy se una ensalada muy apetitosa de seguro la haré. Te mando un beso
This looks very delicious 😊
Besides being healthy, the presentation of this salad looks beautiful.
I can only see the picture from here without being able to try to make it because Cod and Toum do not exist in the waters in my country.

Looks colourful! I don't think I'd eat anyone's liver, though, even if it was the last food on Earth, LOL

Dear Angie, I grew up eating this and I love it. xo
Such a flavorful salad! That toum is everything!
Looks great! Very simple but very rich and hearty salad. Generally i eat salad in lunch times.
I don’t think we have cod liver here in Canada, I am only aware of cod liver oil pills, which I take regularly because they are excellent for eyes.

I've never seen cod liver in the canned fish section of the store but I do love sardines :) What a beautiful salad, Angie!
Love garlic and intrigued by this toum garlic sauce (my immediate thought - is this aioli?)
Garlic sauce sounds delicious, colorful and healthy salad.
I have not tried cod liver before, love that you can use it straight from the tin in the salad. I have to look out for them!
