My Spanish boyfriend, who loves to cook, showed me this super-easy, colorful, and tasty appetizer using cold cooked mussels. These are sold pre-cooked in Spanish supermarkets, but you could cook them ahead and refrigerate them.

• Ready In: 30 mins
• Serves: 2-4

Ingredients

• 2  dozen  cooked mussels
• 1  small red bell pepper, minced fine
• 1  small green bell pepper, minced fine
• 1  small red onion, minced fine
•  extra virgin olive oil
• 1  lemon
•  salt
•  pepper

Directions

1. Remove the top shell from the mussels and arrange them on a platter.
2. Sprinkle the mussels evenly with the peppers and onion.
3. Drizzle liberal amounts of extra virgin olive oil over the platter.
4. Generously squeeze lemon juice over the ingredients. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
