Background

Insalata di cozze is a famous and popular antipasto. The mussels are cooked in white wine then served with a simple vinaigrette. This simple mussel salad is made with ready-cooked mussels available in most supermarkets. It takes only a couple of minutes to whisk together the dressing et voilà you've got some lovely nibbles that go well with a glass of Prosecco or white wine!

Ingredients

150g ready cooked mussels
1 Tbsp white wine vinegar or ½ lemon
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 clove of garlic, minced
1 Tbsp chopped parsley, basil or dill
Salt & pepper
Chili flakes

Instructions

Rinse & drain the mussels then put them in a bowl.
Whisk together the oil, vinegar, garlic and herbs. Season with salt and pepper. Taste and adjust it to your liking. Pour the dressing over the mussels and add a few pinches of chilli flakes, if liked.
If you have time, let the mussels marinate for an hour or so in the fridge before serving.

Tips

You can use fresh mussels if you'd prefer. Put them in a large pot, add a small glass of white wine and bring to the boil. Cover and let the mussels steam for a few minutes, until the shells just open. Move them to a colander to cool. Shell them and place the mussels in a bowl and add the dressing.
