Salad with mussels and tomatoes
Description
A simple dish to prepare. The mussel and tomato salad comes together in no time if you have a jar of marinated mussels on hand. However, you can also use fresh seafood, sautéing them for 3–5 minutes in a pan with vegetable oil. You may substitute Chinese cabbage with spinach or a mixed salad greens blend, and replace mayonnaise with sour cream or a lemon-based dressing. Serve chilled.
