Salad with mussels, mozzarella and arugula

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make a salad with mussels, mozzarella and arugula? Prepare the ingredients. Take any ready—made mussels - in oil or marinade, with the latter the salad will be less caloric. Use mozzarella in mini balls.

2. Step 2:

   

   Remove the mussels from the oil. You can even put them on paper towels to remove excess fat.

3. Step 3:

   

   Wash cherry tomatoes, dry and cut into circles or slices. Instead of cherry, you can take ordinary tomatoes and cut them smaller.

4. Step 4:

   

   Wash the arugula and basil and dry it well — the excess liquid will make the salad watery, and the greens themselves will wither quickly. You can dry them with towels or use a special dryer for greenery.

5. Step 5:

   

   Remove the mozzarella from the brine and dry it. If the balls are large, cut them into halves.

7. Step 6:

   

   Prepare the dressing. Prepare the products for her. Take high—quality, first-pressed oil - it is the most delicious and healthy. Remove the zest from the lemon, then squeeze the juice out of it.

8. Step 7:

   

   How to make a refueling? Combine olive oil with lemon juice, grated lemon zest, ground black pepper and salt.

9. Step 8:

   

   Mix everything until smooth.

10. Step 9:

    

    Put arugula and basil on a dish or in a salad bowl. Place cherry tomato slices, mozzarella balls and mussels on top. Mussels can be spread directly from the jar, along with butter. But there shouldn't be too much oil, since we still have refueling.

11. Step 10:

    

    Pour the dressing over the salad and serve immediately. Salads from fresh vegetables do not stand for a long time — the greens wither and let the juice out, from which the salad loses its taste and appearance. Bon appetit!
