Italian Seafood Salad, an amazing appetizer that everyone will love, made with shrimp, mussels, calamari fresh veggies and some tasty olive oil. Serve with some Italian Crusty Bread to make this your new go to Appetizer.

Italian Seafood Salad, love seafood? Then this is the perfect seafood appetizer recipe for you! Fast, easy and so delicious.

If someone asked me what was my favourite antipasto/ appetizer was,  this Italian Seafood Salad would be it, hands down. Just ask my daughter, we always fight over the last bit in the bowl

Sometimes I think the perfect supper would be just 3 or 4 Amazing Appetizers with a side of wonderful Italian crusty bread.

Italian Seafood Salad would be on the table,  front and center and this is coming from a woman who is not exactly the greatest fish fan. But when I see this dish I am the first in line.

Filled with all the best seafood, shrimp, calamari and mussels, tossed with carrots, celery, olives fresh Italian parsley and olive oil.

Just make sure you let it sit for a few hours  to get all those amazing tastes mingling. If you can wait long enough over-night would be even better, but we couldn’t wait! We dove right in.

The Italian thought a pinch or two of hot pepper flakes and a dash, just before serving, of Balsamic vinegar were the perfect touches, and to tell the truth he was right! Sometimes he knows what he is talking about ;).

I thought I would share this Italian Seafood Salad just before Easter as a lot of us will be serving a meatless Good Friday, with the emphasis on fish.

Most Italians will be sitting down to a Seafood appetizer,  a delicious Baked Trout , Roasted Potatoes, and of course you cannot forget a delicious Seafood Linguine.

So if you do plan on serving a few appetizers this would be a perfect choice and a delicious second choice would be Smoked Salmon or Grilled Peppers. Buon Appetito!

      Can the seafood salad be frozen as it does not have mayonnaise?

        Hi Jo, that should be fine without mayonnaise. Freeze in a freezer safe bag or container.
