  • Place the washed and drained mussels in a pot with boiling salted water for 3 minutes. Remove them and take off the top shell from each one.
  • Detach the mussel from the shell and put it back in place. This will make it easier to eat. Set aside on a platter.
  • Cut 2 thin slices of lemon and chop them into triangular pieces. Squeeze the rest of the lemon.
  • Mix the chopped celery with the diced tomato, chopped basil, and finely chopped onion.
  • Add the lemon juice, oil, salt, and pepper and stir. Place about a tablespoon of this mixture on each mussel and garnish with a piece of lemon.
