hi, xato is really delicious but it's usually made with salted anchoivies and chunks of salt cod. If you add some omellettes (potaotes amoleete and eggplants omelettes for instance) then the dish is called "xatonada"
Catalonian Salad with Greens and Romesco Vinaigrette (Xato)
This hearty green salad (pronounced SHA-toh) would be served as a first-course dish in Spain. We love how the rich vinaigrette and mixed salad greens help smooth the endive's bitter edge. If you can't find curly endive, substitute radicchio or escarole. Tomato and Garlic Toast would be a lovely accompaniment to this entertaining-worthy salad.
