You know it’s close to Christmas when nearly 3000 lbs of Baccalà arrive Baccalà is a dry salted cod fish that is traditionally made around the holidays. It is a delicacy for Italians and many other cultures! Baccalà can be made various ways depending on family recipes and traditions. Every Christmas here at Mona Lisa, we make a marinated Baccalà salad that we sell in our deli. Made with tomato, red onion, olives, garlic, parsley, lemon juice, olive oil and spices, it’s t...ruly unique and delicious! Stop by this Christmas and try it out . . . #baccalà #baccalasalad #italiantradition #christmastradition #christmasiscoming #monalisadeli #monalisarestaurant #monalisalittleitalysd #littleitalysd #littleitalysandiego #sandiego #visitsd See more
