Background
This pesto seafood and watercress salad is perfect for a laid-back lunch, or can be served as starter at a dinner party. It doesn’t require any cooking – so it’s ready in just 5 minutes. It’s ideal for summer parties, barbecues, picnics and trips too. If you don’t like watercress, use mixed baby-leaves or rocket leaves. You can add some mozzarella, if you like.
Ingredients
- 1 pack of mixed seafood, ready-cooked (approx 350g)
- 1 Tbsp mini pickled peppadews (optional)
- ½ cup sun- blushed tomatoes in oil, drained
- 1 Tbsp green pesto
- Juice & grated zest of ½ lemon
- Salt and pepper
- 2 large handfuls of watercress
- ½ cup olives ( pitted)
Instructions
- Mix the seafood, tomatoes and peppadews with the pesto and lemon zest/juice. Season with salt and pepper and chill until ready to serve.
- Scatter the watercress leaves into a big bowl. Add the seafood mixture, then the olives and combine.
- Transfer the salad to a platter and season generously with ground pepper.
