Marc Forgione s Salt Cod Tonnato with Crudite

This recipe, from chef Marc Forgione, is a twist on a classic Italian dip, tonnato—traditionally made with tuna, here made with salt cod, also known as bacalao. This dip is a great way to highlight the best vegetables that the farmers' market has to offer, whatever the season. In the spring, serve with asparagus and snap peas; in the summer, green beans and gem lettuces; in the fall, spicy radishes and carrots; in winter, bitter greens like radicchio and cauliflower are delicious. And don't forget crackers or toasted crusty bread for a little crunch.
