Cooking these dishes is one delight starting right from the moment of reading the recipe, because the names themselves sound tasty: “royal scallops”, “kiwi” mussels ... or, for example, “Argentinian musk melon”, “sweet potato”. According to the recipe, next to you all the adventure literature, mastered in his youth. While you are cooking, remembering travels, about the wind from the Atlantic ... What is nice, these dishes are cooked quickly, and served spectacularly.

Therefore, you can cook them with family and friends and make a real little holiday out of it all. Its culmination is beautifully served seafood and grilled vegetables (and in the setting, naturalness and easy negligence are in vogue today) and the smiling faces of relatives and friends, who also turned out to be involved in creating these masterpieces and this mood.

| For warm seafood salad fit white dry wine Soave Classico DOC Staforte. Garganega grapes, from which wine is prepared, are grown in Italy - in Soave, near Verona. The drink is of a beautiful golden-yellow color with a pleasant aroma of flowers, herbs and a light mineral tint.

Marina Levina, El Gaucho: “The secret of healthy eating is first and foremost the use of natural products and, most importantly, the preparation of these products so that their value is not lost during heat treatment. Culinary excellence is a balance between taste and benefit. The ideal dish in this sense is the warm El Pescador seafood salad. It consists of only the most useful natural products - celery, arugula, iceberg lettuce, sweet pepper, tiger prawns, scallops, giant kiwi mussels. Celery is rich in organic sodium, which means that it can replace normal salt without harming the body. Arugula - the main friend of losing weight girls: no other salad does not affect so positively on the metabolism. Sweet pepper on the content of vitamin C is superior to lemon and even blackcurrant. Iceberg lettuce is just a storehouse of nutrients. The fact that shrimp - a very useful seafood, perhaps, no one doubts. Scallops are also seafood dietetic, high-protein and low-calorie, low-fat, low-carbohydrate, and very rich in digestible minerals. Scallop contains 150 times more iodine than beef. As for mussels, their property has been proven to increase the body's immune defense. Follow the diet, monitor your health and be happy! "
