    Monaco seafood salad is a luxurious treat. In Monaco they call this salade de fruit de mer.  Monaco being right on the Mediterranean coast is home to  some of the best beaches in the world.  It is no wonder that seafood is a staple ingredient.

    This salad was made as a main course, loaded with all types of succulent seafood.  You can add what you like as this recipe is very flexible. Be sure to use only the freshest baby greens.  I made it very decadent with crab, lobster and a seafood blend of scallops, shrimp, calamari and mussels. Add in what you love and enjoy it with a nice glass of bubbly, did you know champagne is the national drink of  Monaco?  Enjoy the salad with a French baguette and pretend you are on a super yacht in the port of Monaco.

    Monaco Seafood SaladMonaco is famous for many things but especially the Monaco Grand Prix Formula 1 race.  It is a site to see all those super yachts in the harbor there for that race. Have you ever been to Monaco?  Let me know what you ate when you were there and if you make this decadent Monaco seafood salad, please let me know how much you loved it in the comments below.
