Salad with mussels, mozzarella, and arugula
Description
The salad is quick and easy to prepare. It should be assembled and dressed right before serving, as arugula wilts quickly and cherry tomatoes release juice, making the salad look less appealing. You can use mussels in oil, smoked mussels in oil, or simply those in a spicy marinade. If you don't have cherry tomatoes, replace them with regular tomatoes, cut into wedges. The salad is ready to serve.
