History:

The origins of the seafood salad with white beans (Ensalada mariner de alubias blancas) are unclear, but it has become a popular dish in many countries that enjoy a close proximity to the ocean. This dish combines the freshness of vegetables with the richness of seafood and the creaminess of white beans. The combination creates a healthy, protein-packed dish that is perfect for hot summer days.

Tips and Tricks: When making this dish, it is important to use fresh ingredients, especially when it comes to the seafood. If fresh seafood is not available, frozen seafood can be used as a substitute. When cooking the seafood, be careful not to overcook it, as this will cause it to become tough and chewy. The dressing adds a lot of flavor to the dish, so make sure to mix it thoroughly and let the vegetables marinate in it for at least 30 minutes before serving. To save time, you can use canned beans, but make sure to rinse them well before using them in the salad.

Tips for presenting the dish: When presenting the seafood salad with white beans, it is important to create a beautiful, eye-catching dish. Start by placing a bed of lettuce on the plate, drizzling it with lemon juice and olive oil, and seasoning it with salt and pepper. Then, arrange the vegetables and seafood on top of the lettuce and garnish it with chopped fennel. This will add an extra layer of flavor and texture to the dish. Serve the salad with slices of fresh bread or crackers and enjoy it with a glass of chilled white wine!
