Instructions
Start by soaking the salted cod for 24 hours in cold water (remember to change the water frequently to get rid of the salt).
The next day, clean the fish by removing the skin and bones (when present) and boil it in hot water for 10 to 15 minutes (or until cooked through). Drain it well and cut it into small pieces/flakes.
In a serving bowl, mix together the pieces of salted cod, the chickpeas, parsley and red onion.
To prepare the vinaigrette, put all the ingredients in a little jar, close the lid tightly and shake it until well combined.
