Tropical Mussels Melange

June 5, 2017 By Michelle - Hold the Moo Leave a Comment

I was not all that certain on what I should call this creation to for now we are stuck with “Tropical Mussels Melange”. It is a lovely, and perhaps unexpected, mix of bell peppers, mango, sage and mussels. The sage is from my grandmothers garden and every time I visit I bring back sage and rosemary from her garden. I freeze it by first washing it and then patting it dry after which I layout individual layers and then freeze. Are you curious about the recipe and how it comes together? Check out the recipe below.

I got my salmon from Organic Foods & Cafe which have 20% off on produce every third weekend of the month. This is a brilliant, and cost effective, way to load up on essentials like quinoa, pasta, lentils, flax seed and apparently salmon. They have a really good selection of organic produce, dry goods, meats, baby products and even cosmetics and hygiene products.

I love wholesome and hearty salads for the summer months (which in Dubai is most of the year). They keep you satiated without making you feel like a blimp and they are easy to customise. Prepare a large batch for meal prep and keep the dressing on the side for a quick, easy and, most importantly, healthy, lunch.
