Cod liver salads are nutritious, very tasty and healthy, especially if cooked without mayonnaise. I propose a simple recipe in which this delicious product goes well with boiled potatoes, pickles and canned peas. I will make the cod liver salad without mayonnaise, instead using a light dressing based on canned oil, grain mustard, and lemon juice. It will turn out to be a light and very tasty salad with cod liver and potatoes, I recommend!

Ingredients

• canned cod liver 200 g
• boiled potatoes 3 pcs.
• red onion 1 pc.
• pickled cucumber 1 pc.
• canned green peas 150 g
• grain mustard 2 tsp
• ground black pepper 1-2 chips.

How to make cod liver salad without mayonnaise

1. Peel the potatoes, boiled in a peel, and cut into large cubes. Do not grind it, otherwise it will crumble in the salad.
2. 
   Peel and dice the red onion. If there is no Crimean onion, then an ordinary onion will do, but it must first be marinated, sprinkled with boiling water to remove excess bitterness.
3. 
   I cut a small pickled cucumber into cubes, slightly smaller than the potatoes.
4. 
   I combine all of the listed ingredients in a salad bowl, add canned peas. Stir gently, being careful not to damage the intactness of the potatoes.
5. 
   Pour the salad into serving plates. I take out the cod liver from the jar, cut it into large pieces and put it on top of the dish in a chaotic manner.
6. 
   I carefully pour the oil that remained in the tin can from the cod liver into a small bowl - not all the oil is needed, but about 2 tablespoons. I add French mustard and some freshly ground pepper. I squeeze out 1 teaspoon of lemon juice (here, be guided by the degree of acidity of the cucumber, you may not need lemon juice at all), stir. There is no need to salt, since almost all products, except for potatoes, are already salted. I pour the resulting dressing evenly over the salad.

Here is such a wonderful salad with cod liver. It is much lighter and tastier without mayonnaise. Vegetables neutralize the natural fat content of canned food and perfectly complement the taste of fish. It remains to decorate the dish to your liking, for example, add a slice of lemon and a sprig of fresh herbs. Enjoy your meal!

In fact, as such, there is no classic recipe for cod liver salad. More precisely, many snacks with this ingredient can claim the title of "classic". However, the most famous, and perhaps the very first version of the cod liver salad, consists of simple and affordable products. It turns out to be very gentle, melts in the mouth.

Classic cod liver salad with eggs and cheese

So the palm of the "classics" can be safely given to this particular recipe. So, for such a snack, you will have to stock up on the following grocery set:

1 can of cod liver;
1 head of onion (preferably white);
3 boiled chicken eggs;
200 g grated cheese;

pepper and salt;

Boil eggs longer, cool, peel and finely chop. If desired, you can even grate them on a coarse grater. Transfer the liver to a bowl, add a little butter it was in and chop it lightly into pieces with a fork or small knife. After that, the cod product can be sent to the salad bowl to the crushed eggs.
Finely chop the onion. If you bought an ordinary onion, you can pour boiling water over it after chopping and hold it for about 5 minutes. Then the excess bitterness will go away from it. Put the prepared onion in a salad bowl too. Pour half of the grated cheese there. Mix the resulting salad, salt, add pepper and mayonnaise to taste. Stir the dish again, then sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
If desired, the salad can be served in portions, after having covered the plates with salad leaves.

Classic version of cod liver salad with eggs and potatoes

The second "classic" recipe has more ingredients in its composition, and its taste is somewhat richer. In addition, thanks to the presence of potatoes, such a salad is much more satisfying than the previous one. For him, you need to get the following products from the cabinets and the refrigerator:

1 can of cod liver;
1 head of onion;
1 boiled chicken egg (you can take 3-4 quail eggs);
200 g canned green peas;
3 medium potatoes;
juice of half a lemon;
mayonnaise as a dressing;
fresh herbs, pepper and salt.

Of course, first you need to boil, cool and peel potatoes and eggs from the skin / shell. Then these products need to be cut into medium-sized cubes and put in a salad bowl. Cut the liver into pieces, only slightly larger than the two previous products. Just finely chop the onion. Transfer these ingredients to the salad bowl. It remains to add the peas, lemon juice, salt and spices, as well as the dressing. Mix everything and serve salad to the table.
If there are no peas in the house or one of the household does not like it, then you can do without this ingredient. Salad in taste will not lose anything from this.

Classic version of cod liver salad with eggs and rice

This recipe also contains green peas. But in this case it is better not to give it up. This ingredient gives the appetizer a more delicate and rich taste. Peas are also needed because the salad contains rice, which itself is a neutral product and is added exclusively for volume and "satiety".

1 can of cod liver;
1 head of onion (preferably red);
2-3 boiled chicken eggs;
100 g canned green peas;
100 g of boiled rice;
1 medium carrot;
2 small pickled cucumbers;
mayonnaise as a dressing;
fresh dill, pepper and salt.

It should be said right away that such a salad belongs to the flaky varieties of appetizers, so it will take a little more time to prepare it. But it will look great on the festive table. But it's time to get back to the cooking process.
Boil eggs, rice and carrots. After peeling, finely rub the eggs on a fine grater (whites in one bowl, and yolks in the other), and dice the carrots. Arrange all chopped products in different plates. After removing the liver from the jar, hold it a little on paper towels to remove the excess oil, and then pepper in a separate bowl and mash with a fork.
It is better to collect salad on a plate inside a special detachable salad ring. But you can also just carefully lay out the food in layers in a deep glass salad bowl. Put rice in the first layer, and spread the cod liver over it. Pour carrot cubes on top and grease this layer with mayonnaise.
Now you need to put the peas, finely chopped onions, and then the pickled cucumbers chopped on a grater. Lubricate the top layer with mayonnaise and sprinkle first with egg whites, then with yolks, and completely on top with a small amount of finely chopped fresh dill.
Let the salad stand for 30 minutes in the refrigerator and you can put it on the table. Of course, if the appetizer was made in a ring, then it must be removed before serving.

Classic version of cod liver salad a la Mimosa

By and large, this salad is a kind of classic Mimosa. Only in this case, crushed canned fish (usually sardines) can be replaced by cod liver. The simplest products are needed here:

1 can of cod liver;
1 head of onion;
4 boiled chicken eggs;
1 medium carrot;
3 medium potatoes;
150 g grated cheese;
mayonnaise as a dressing;
parsley, basil, pepper and salt.

Then everything is the same as with the Mimosa salad. Peel and coarsely grate boiled potatoes in their uniforms. Peel the carrots, also boiled, and cut into small cubes. For boiled eggs, separate the whites from the yolks and rub them separately on a grater (large and small, respectively). Cut the cod liver into medium-sized pieces.
The assembly is carried out in the following sequence: potatoes (add a little salt), mayonnaise, grated cheese, cod liver (pepper), mayonnaise mesh, egg whites, mayonnaise (distribute evenly), finely chopped greens, egg yolks. You can hold the finished salad for 10 minutes to soak it a little and only then serve it to the table.

Diet version of cod liver salad

Despite the fact that cod liver is high in calories, it is quite possible to make a relatively diet salad from it, saving it from the second most important calorie supplier - mayonnaise. This option, by the way, can also be considered a classic, since this recipe has been known for a long time, and such an appetizer consists of well-known products:

1 can of cod liver;
1 head of onion (preferably white or red);
2 large tomatoes;
10 pieces. crab sticks;
2 medium cucumbers (fresh);

100 g canned corn;
1 teaspoon of sugar and lemon juice;
a little salt to taste;
if you wish, you can take lettuce leaves for serving.

Shake the resulting mixture a little with your hands, add lemon juice and sugar, then mix and leave for 10-15 minutes for the vegetables to give juice. Cut tomatoes and cucumbers into thin slices (you can also cut them into cubes if desired) and crab sticks. Remove the liver from the jar and pat dry on a paper towel, then cut into small pieces. Put the prepared ingredients in a bowl with onions and cabbage, add corn and mix everything very well. You can serve salad on lettuce leaves, or in a common salad bowl.

Diet version of cod liver and chicken breast salad

Another, more or less dietary, cod liver salad contains in its composition such a low-calorie product as chicken breast. Such a combination should not cause surprise: oddly enough, but chicken and fish go well in salads. In general, you need to prepare for this snack:

1 can of cod liver;
200 g chicken breast;
1 large tomato
200-300 g of Chinese cabbage;
50 g of croutons (with salt, without any flavoring additives);

Classic version of cod liver salad with prunes

At first glance, this recipe seems paradoxical. However, having tried it, many gourmets stop at just this version of the classic salad with prunes. The fact is that the slightly harsh taste of cod liver is perfectly softened and complemented by the sweet taste of prunes. So it is highly recommended to try this salad. Well, for its preparation you need to buy:

1 can of cod liver;
1 head of onion (preferably white);
5-6 prune berries;
4 boiled chicken eggs;
1 medium carrot;

Preparing food is very simple. Boil carrots, eggs and potatoes, cool and peel. Finely chop or grate carrots and potatoes. In eggs, separate the whites from the yolks and rub separately: the whites are large, and the yolks are smaller. Cut the rest of the products into small pieces into separate plates and you can start assembling the dish. By the way, before grinding prunes, it is worth pouring boiling water for 5-10 minutes to make it softer and more tender.
The order of laying out the layers is as follows: potatoes (salt), cod liver, egg whites, mayonnaise mesh, onions, prunes, mayonnaise mesh, carrots, a large layer of mayonnaise, egg yolks. The appetizer should be allowed to brew for half an hour in the refrigerator, and then sent to guests or households for testing.

Classic version of cod liver salad with apple

And another version of the cod liver salad combined with sweet ingredients. It is difficult to call it classic, although ... there are rumors on the Internet that it was served in the best restaurants of the Soviet Union. This is most likely a myth, but why not try an unusual combination of flavors? So you can start. But first you need to prepare a lot of products:

1 can of cod liver;
3 medium potatoes;
3 green onions "byliki";
one medium-sized sweet and sour apple;
3 boiled chicken eggs;
1 medium carrot;
juice of half a lemon;
100 g grated cheese;
10-15 raisins and 2 crushed walnut kernels;
mayonnaise as a dressing.

The process of preparing this version of the cod liver puff salad is practically the same as the previous recipe. Grind the ingredients into different dishes, then put them in layers in a salad bowl or in a special split salad ring.
True, there are certain nuances. So the raisins must first be soaked for 5 minutes in boiling water. Large raisins should be cut into 2-3 parts, and small ones can be put in whole. There is no need to grind walnuts into dust, but you should not leave too large pieces either. You can grind them in a blender, or you can simply chop them with a sharp knife. As for the apple, grate it on a coarse grater and sprinkle with lemon juice so that the pieces of fruit do not darken.
The appetizer is assembled in the following order: potatoes (salt), cod liver, egg whites, finely chopped green onions, apple, mayonnaise mesh, raisins, cheese, mayonnaise mesh, carrots, mayonnaise mesh, egg yolks, nuts.
In this case, the salad should also be put in a cool place for 15-30 minutes and only then start eating it.

Classic version of Nicoise cod liver salad

Benefits of cod liver

Such a variety of classics can be prepared if there is a can of cod liver in the house. And it is not necessary to wait for the holiday for this. Such a salad will be appropriate for any family lunch or dinner.

For some reason, seafood salads are not frequent guests on our tables. The only exceptions, perhaps, are snacks made from crab sticks and herring under a fur coat. A number of housewives often treat their households with canned fish dishes, but few people consider the use of fish delicacies in salads even on holidays. And this is not good.

Take cod liver, for example. This tasty product contains so many usefulness that its use at least during solemn feasts "to the eyeballs" will fill the body with the necessary substances. It contains a lot of vitamins (A, D, E), iodine, folic acid and, of course, fish oil. So in the diet of every family, cod liver should be present without fail and, if possible, with enviable regularity.
