MARINATED TOMATO & MUSSEL SALAD

COOKBOOK: Mag Recipe

I could live off this salad! For starters I’m a huge fan of any seafood and secondly, I’m a sucker for avocado!

In no time it was made, and in no time it was gone!

Make a little more and serve it up as a light lunch with a piece of crusty bread and everyone will love you!
