Ensalada malagueña · Málaga
A hearty Málaga salad of boiled potato and salt cod with orange segments, spring onion, black olives and a hard-boiled egg, dressed simply with olive oil.
Also called ensalada cateta, this dish pairs the province's oranges with salt cod (bacalao) and potato, a combination that reflects Málaga's inland citrus groves and its long fishing and salting tradition. It is a cold, filling salad eaten year-round but especially welcome in winter when Málaga oranges are at their sweetest. The mix of sweet fruit, salty cod and soft potato is distinctly local.
