Octopus Carpaccio is a light, flavorful dish originating from Italian coastal cuisine. Made by thinly slicing tender, cooked octopus, it’s traditionally dressed with olive oil, lemon juice, fresh herbs like parsley, and often capers or arugula for added zest. This dish is rich in protein and low in calories, making it a nutritious choice for seafood lovers. Octopus provides essential minerals such as iron, potassium, and selenium, along with vitamin B12, supporting energy production and overall health. The olive oil dressing is a source of healthy monounsaturated fats, beneficial for heart health. However, as with many seafood dishes, sodium levels can be higher, particularly if salt is added or capers are included. Its minimalist preparation highlights the octopus's natural flavors while keeping the dish wholesome and nutrient-dense, fitting for those seeking a balanced, Mediterranean-inspired meal.
