Squid and mussel salad with chips Pearl of the Sea

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Choose products: The denser the iceberg salad forks, the juicier and crispier it will be. Many manufacturers pack seafood in transparent jars where the product is visible. I was lucky - mussels are all clean, no moss and dirt, squid tentacles are large without films, mucus, etc. Mozzarella cheese in brine should be without milk fat substitutes! Olive oil is only first pressed and unrefined. Chips to taste, but personally I recommend chips with salt

2. Step 2:

   

   First we need to cut cherry tomatoes into 4 parts, and pieces of mozzarella cheese into 2 parts.

3. Step 3:

   

   Lettuce is cleaned from the top sheets and cut across strips 1 cm wide. At the same time, we leave a large good sheet for decoration.

4. Step 4:

   

   Seafood in our case is already ready, which saves us a lot of time, so we just have to open them. Since we use squid and mussels in oil, when laying out, try to make the oil from them glass. Why, again, we chose the Moon Sea, because the oil in which our "reptiles" swim does not then get up in the throat with an indelible taste, like some other manufacturers.

6. Step 5:

   

   We will collect the salad in portions. We spread our beautiful lettuce leaf on one side of the plate and on it (as in the photo) we begin to lay out the rest of the ingredients in layers, create a small pillow of lettuce strips, carefully stack cherry tomatoes, cheese and our seafood. I personally do not cut seafood, because I believe that if you tear them, it turns out tastier and more beautiful and easier to decorate. Do not forget to salt and pepper each layer (without fanaticism)!

7. Step 6:

   

   After we have laid out 3 layers, it is necessary to fill our resulting salad with olive oil and sprinkle with sesame seeds. It is important not to overdo it with oil. This is not porridge, so you can easily spoil the oil. Since our seafood was in oil there, we need literally a tablespoon. Chips are beautifully stacked from the free edge of the plate, so they will not get wet from the rest of the products, will retain their crunch and will fit very nicely into the design of our finished dish.

8. Step 7:

   

   For lovers of spicy and spicy dishes, you can use chili pepper or pour it separately on the clean edge of the plate under the chips, so that you can, if desired, "play" with taste. Chili, in turn, goes very well with all the ingredients of our salad. This salad is rich in vitamins and trace elements, while it contains enough protein to be dietary, but at the same time nutritious. Enjoy your meal. Please yourself and your loved ones
