Salad recipe with mussels and squid
The highlight of the salad is that we will fry the mussels in butter. Due to this, the taste becomes subtle and delicate. Even those who do not like the taste of mussels appreciated the taste of the salad.
To prepare we will need:
- 150 grams of mussels;
- 2-3 medium squids;
- 2-3 eggs;
- small onion;
- a teaspoon of 5% vinegar (or dilute vinegar essence with water 1 to 16 - I use a syringe to dilute);
- butter, mayonnaise, salt, sugar to taste;
- green onions for serving.
Cut the onion into half rings and crush slightly, sprinkle with salt, sugar, pour over vinegar and leave to marinate.
Squids and mussels can be taken fresh or frozen. Saute the mussels in butter. When finished, you can place it on a paper towel to remove excess oil.
If the squid is not peeled, its skin can be removed much easier if it is washed under hot water or lightly scalded. For cooking, keep the cleaned squid in boiling water for no longer than 5 minutes, otherwise it will be tough. Then cut into strips.
We also cut boiled eggs into strips, mix all our preparations in a salad bowl, and season with mayonnaise. Serve the dish with green onions or other fresh herbs. Ours and mussels are ready.
Bon appetit!

Do you want something exotic, but only one that you can eat and really enjoy the meal? Try the salad with mussels and squid - the dish is ideal for both a festive table and a quiet family meal. If you don't like the taste of mussels, still try them in a salad. Frying in butter is the secret of this dish; the mussels acquire a simply amazing delicate taste.
List of ingredients:
- 3 squid carcasses,
- 100 g mussels,
- 1 onion,
- 1 tbsp. butter,
- 2 chicken eggs,
- 0.5 tsp table vinegar 9%,
- 0.5 tsp Sahara,
- 3 pinches of salt,
- 1.5 tbsp. mayonnaise,
- green onions before serving.
Preparation
1. Remove the husks from the onion and cut into halves of rings. If you like a lot of onions in your salad, take a large vegetable; if you don’t like a lot, take smaller ones, it’s simple. 
2. Crush the onion thoroughly with your hands, mix with sugar and vinegar, leave for 10-15 minutes. Before adding onions to the salad, do not forget to rinse them with running water and allow excess liquid to drain. 
3. Use chilled squids; if they were frozen, defrost them naturally. Wash them thoroughly, remove the insides, if any. 
4. Using a sharp knife, scrape the squid and remove the hard parts from the carcass and tail. Bring salted water to boil. 
5. Melt the butter in a frying pan. Add cooled mussels. If they were previously frozen, defrost them at room temperature or leave them in the refrigerator overnight, then rinse and drain. 
6. Fry the mussels for a short time over low heat, until golden brown - about 7-10 minutes, stirring. If the seafood turns out to be too greasy, you can put it on a napkin. 
7. Cook the squids in boiling water for 3-4 minutes, then cool them and cut them. It's best to cut into strips, but you can cut however you like. 
Fortunately, you don’t have to be somewhere in sunny Italy or France on the Mediterranean coast to indulge in seafood. Although that would be ideal. But if a visit to Italy is still only in the future, then frozen seafood, which can be purchased at any large chain supermarket, is also quite suitable.
Fans of Mediterranean cuisine probably love the Niçoise salad, born in coastal Nice. This salad includes only the most delicious and healthy things. And most importantly, it has many combinations, that is, it is not at all necessary to have all the necessary ingredients on hand; it is quite possible to ignore some or replace them with what you find in your refrigerator. The most important thing is that it contains seafood and a lot of fresh vegetables.
Traditionally, salads with squid and other seafood recipes are seasoned according to the canons of Mediterranean cuisine with a sauce that includes wine vinegar and olive oil. But this time I decided to change traditions and season the salad with homemade yogurt - it turned out delicious and no less healthy. This time I did not add anchovies to the seafood salad, which add a unique piquancy to Mediterranean cuisine.
