Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh squid
- 1 large Lemon
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 100 grams Cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 0.5 cup Fresh parsley
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Clean the fresh squid by removing the head, insides, and skin. Cut the body into thin rings and the tentacles into smaller pieces, if large.
Step 2
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the squid and blanch for 1-2 minutes until just cooked and tender, then quickly transfer to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
Step 3
Juice the lemon and set aside the juice.
Step 4
In a large bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.
Step 5
Slice the cherry tomatoes in halves, the cucumber into thin rounds, and the red onion into very thin slices.
Step 6
Chop the fresh parsley finely.
Step 7
Drain the squid and pat dry. Add the squid, tomatoes, cucumber, onion, and parsley to the dressing in the bowl.
Step 8
Toss everything gently to ensure the squid and vegetables are well coated with the dressing.
Step 9
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Step 10
Serve the salad chilled or at room temperature, dividing it evenly among four plates.
