  • tomatoes - 2 medium - sized pcs.

measures

How to make

Boil the quinoa as indicated on the package. Strain and sprinkle it with olive oil, mix thoroughly, so that the grains do not stick together. Leave it to cool.

Finely chop the onions and tomatoes and cut the olives into circles. Add them to the quinoa.

Chop the parsley and mix it with salt, lemon juice, olive oil and black pepper.

Season the salad with this fragrant dressing and you can add more olive oil or lemon juice to suit your taste.

Strain the mussels from the canned marinade and spread them over each portion of salad.

It is best to place them on top, not to mix them in the salad, because the mussels are tender and will tear.

If you use fresh mussels, then you can steam them and mix them with the salad.

The Mediterranean Salad with Mussels, Olives and Quinoa is ready.
