Salad with mussels and tomatoes

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 40 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make a salad with mussels and tomatoes? We will need: mussels, tomatoes (you can take any, cherry tomatoes look better in a festive version), any vegetables and herbs. I added green beans, bell pepper, parsley, basil, as well as sesame seeds, salt, olive oil, lemon juice, soy sauce. If you like it, then arugula goes well with this salad.

2. STEP 2

   

   Wash the green beans, remove the ends of each pod from both sides. Boil the beans in salted boiling water for 7-8 minutes. Drain the water, cool the beans, cut each pod into 3 parts.

3. STEP 3

   

   Rinse frozen mussels under running water, place them in boiling salted water, and wait until they boil. Reduce heat and cook mussels for 1 minute. Mussel meat is tender, so you should not exceed the cooking time so that the taste of the seafood is not lost.

4. STEP 4

   

   Remove the finished mussels with a slotted spoon and let cool.

5. STEP 5

   

   Wash the bell pepper, dry it, remove the seeds, cut into strips.

   Fry sesame seeds in a dry frying pan until light golden brown.

8. STEP 8

   

   Combine beans, mussels, bell peppers, herbs, mix.

9. STEP 9

   

   Place vegetables and mussels on a plate. You can optionally use lettuce leaves for decoration.

10. STEP 10

    Place tomato slices on top of the salad.

The salad is delicious, thanks to the author! But if you don’t have mussels or don’t like them, you can prepare a version with canned tuna. I love!

A salad of mussels and tomatoes is very good both on holidays and on long weekends, when you don’t know what to cook that will be tasty and not too labor-intensive. I didn’t have green beans, but I did have red onions in my bins. everything came together quite harmoniously!
