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 salad will be less calorien. Use mozzarella in mini balls.

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

Wash the cherry tomatoes, dry and cut into circles or wedges. Instead of cherry, you can take regular tomatoes and chop them smaller.

Rinse the arugula and basil and dry well - extra liquid will make the salad watery, and the greens themselves will quickly curl. You can dry them with towels or use a special green dryer.

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

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

Mix everything until smooth.

Put the arugula and basil on a dish or in a salad bowl. Spread out slices of cherry tomatoes, mozzarella balls and mussels on top. Mussels can be laid out directly from the can, along with butter. But there shouldn't be a lot of oil, as we still have a dressing.

Pour the salad over the dressing and serve immediately to the table. Salads made of fresh vegetables do not stand for a long time - the greens wilt and let in juice, from which the salad loses in taste and appearance. Enjoy your meal!
