Salad with mussels

Cookinero 9 Jan 2026

At the same time, they contain a lot of easily digestible protein and healthy fats. Many people prefer canned mussels, but we are for fresh ones - they retain more benefits. A delicious salad with mussels and tomatoes is a truly healthy meal.

Salad with mussels - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes! Shrimp, scallops, or clams work well as alternatives. Adjust cooking time accordingly—shrimp and scallops need 2-3 minutes per side, while clams require steaming until opened.
Store in an airtight container for up to 1 day. Mussels are best eaten fresh, and the greens will wilt over time. Keep dressing separate if meal prepping.
Try vegan feta or nutritional yeast for tanginess. For creaminess, add sliced avocado or marinated artichoke hearts instead.
Absolutely! Omit mussels and add pan-fried tofu or tempeh. Use vegetable broth instead of wine for deglazing, and double the cherry tomatoes for heartiness.
Yes—it's naturally low-carb with only 10g net carbs per serving. For stricter diets, reduce cherry tomatoes by half and skip balsamic vinegar.
Cook mussels and make dressing up to 4 hours ahead. Keep separate from greens. Assemble just before serving to maintain texture.
Gently warm in a skillet with 1 tsp water or broth over low heat 2-3 minutes. Avoid microwaving, which can toughen the mussels.
Serve with crusty bread for soaking up juices, or make it a complete meal with quinoa or roasted potatoes. A crisp white wine complements the flavors perfectly.
