Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh squid, cleaned and sliced into rings
- 1 whole Lemon, juiced
- 1 whole Lime, juiced
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 medium Cucumber, thinly sliced
- 200 grams Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.5 medium Red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili flakes
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the squid. After cleaning, slice the squid into rings about half an inch wide.
Step 2
In a medium-sized pot, bring water to a boil. Add a pinch of salt and then the squid rings. Cook for 1-2 minutes until opaque and tender. Avoid overcooking to prevent the squid from becoming rubbery. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the lemon juice, lime juice, and olive oil.
Step 4
Add the minced garlic, red chili flakes, salt, and black pepper to the bowl and whisk together to create the dressing.
Step 5
Add the cooked squid, chopped cilantro, sliced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and red onion to the dressing. Toss everything together until all ingredients are well coated in the dressing.
Step 6
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or lime juice to suit your preference.
Step 7
Let the salad marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 8
Serve chilled or at room temperature. Enjoy the salad on its own or as a vibrant side dish!
