From time to time I started to cook more and more various seafood, besides shrimp I rediscovered squid - properly cooked meat is not strong at all and the smell of sea is very discreet compared to other mollusks. I noticed that even large or adapted stores, now you can surely find squid or whole squid at any fresh or frozen fish section, and at very reasonable prices.

This holiday season we tested this squid salad and we really liked it - it's simple, filling, tasty and even unexpectedly good - as my husband said.

Step by step

Step 1

I had frozen squid, so I let them thaw a little.

Step 2

I put a pan with water and a little salt to boil, when it starts to boil put the squid.

Let them boil for 2-3 minutes (no more!) From the moment the water boils again.

Remove immediately in cold water and leave them there until they cool well - so they will be soft and tasty, if you boil them too much they will become hard and elastic like gums.
