Sea salad - both tasty and healthy

The name “seafood salad” alone causes profuse salivation, and here the imagination can play out in earnest, because you can combine seafood as you like and with anything. The recipe for this salad with squid, mussels and shrimp is distinguished by its piquancy and unusual spicy taste. This dish combines unsurpassed notes of seafood and aromas of vegetables that are quite familiar to us, which makes it especially tasty. Whether it is worth talking about the benefits of its ingredients - we don't know, but it's better to remind.

Mussels are a pure protein that is very easily absorbed by our body, moreover, it is dietary product... They contain a large amount of vitamins and minerals that improve vision, cleanse the blood and strengthen the immune system. But do not forget about another of their excellent properties - the ability to help the production of the male hormone - testosterone. By the way, this is practically a natural Viagra. Squids are also rich in minerals and trace elements, which has a beneficial effect on the human body. Well, about the benefits of onions and bell peppers, and so everyone knows firsthand.

A salad of mussels and squid can be safely attributed to the category of dietary ones, since its components practically do not contain fats, and a light dressing makes it even more tender.

Cooking process

Well, it's time to talk about the cooking process. Pretreatment of mussels should be done very carefully, they can get sand, and this, believe me, is not the best flavoring additive to salad. Rinse the mussels under running water, preferably several times. Most manufacturers immediately remove the barbs that attach the mussel to the sink, as they are inedible. If you come across with beards, just cut them off.

Bring water in a saucepan to a boil (about 1.5 L), salt and pour the mussels into it. Cook them for about 4 minutes. It should be noted that small mussels are cooked for 3 minutes, and large ones - 5. After cooking, immediately pour them into another dish, do not leave them in a hot saucepan, so that they do not get ready to the state of chewing gum. Cut into strips.

Squids also need to be rinsed and peeled. Their preparation process is very similar to that described above. Place the peeled carcasses in salted water and cook for 4-5 minutes. Cut the finished squid into thin neat strips.

Boil three king prawns, they will be needed for further processing sea salad... Salt the boiling water, add a slice of lemon and dill. Lower the shrimp, after boiling, cook for another 10 minutes. Remove the shell from them, leaving only the tail. Do not forget to cut the shrimp along the back and remove the intestinal string - this is important.

Prepare the marinade: peel onion(if the onion is large, then one is enough) and cut into thin half rings, scald with boiling water in order to remove unpleasant bitterness. In a glass of water, dilute 4 tablespoons of vinegar, a teaspoon of sugar and salt, pour the marinade on the onion and leave for 20-30 minutes, then strain it.

Bell peppers (for contrast of the salad, it is better to take red), wash and chop into strips.

The assembly of the dish is very simple: mix mussels, squid, bell peppers and pickled onions in a deep plate, salt to taste, mix everything carefully and season with olive oil (replace with vegetable oil if necessary). If you do not need to keep an eye on your figure, then everyone's favorite mayonnaise is quite suitable for dressing.

And finally, the most wonderful of the processes is, of course, the presentation. Here you can give free rein to your imagination or use our tips on how to decorate your dish. If you chose the second option, then it is worth taking a special plate, pouring 6-7 tablespoons of the already seasoned salad into the center, and fanning out the king prawns prepared in advance on the rim.

This seafood salad looks enchanting, but tastes even more delicious. This is absolutely independent dish that can only be complemented by a glass of white wine. And given beneficial features of this tandem, it is perfect for a romantic dinner. Bon Appetit!

Sea mix salad is one of our favorite salads in our house. It is done quickly, since all products are ready-to-eat, except for potatoes.

But in such cases, I cook potatoes in the microwave. You need a little of it in a salad, so I cook it first and it turns out quickly.

Peeled the potatoes. I prepared a deep cup, put a plastic bag filled with a little water in it.

I have medium-sized potatoes. I cut it into halves and put it in a bag of water. I tied the bag and put it in the microwave for 4 minutes.

At this time, I peeled the onion, cut it into thin strips.

I usually pickle onions in a salad, but this is my desire, since fresh onions are "evil" for me. I put the onion in a cup, added a little sugar, and poured vinegar.

Boil water, as much as needed to coat the onion. Poured boiling water over, sprinkled with pepper, set for a few minutes.

The potatoes are ready.

I cut it into small pieces.

I cut off a few cucumber circles for decoration, cut the rest into small cubes.

You can take any seafood. The more different seafood there are, the tastier the mix. I only had mussels, squids and a couple of small octopuses in stock.

I put potatoes, cucumber, seafood in a deep bowl, mixed.

The onions were pickled by this time, I added them to the bowl to the products, mixed.

Seasoned salad with oil.

You can spread it. This plate is enough for three medium portions. On the edge of the oblong dish, I put sliced cucumber rounds, and put salad in the center.

But such a salad will only spoil your appetite. It should not be taken as a full-fledged hearty dish, especially for men.

Moreover, if you are expecting guests, the number of products should be increased.

Decorated with caviar. Caviar can be any. In this case, I cheated and bought seaweed caviar.

The salad turned out to be tasty and not expensive. But you can put and salmon caviar... This is a matter of taste and the possibilities of the wallet.
