Best 13 Grilled Squid Arugula Salad Recipes

ARUGULA SALAD

Steps:

• Place the arugula, carrots, and tomatoes in a large bowl.
• In a small bowl or large measuring cup, whisk together the dressing ingredients: lemon juice, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and salt. (Alternatively, you can shake them all together in a mason jar with a tight-fitting lid).
• Drizzle enough over the arugula to moisten it, then toss to combine.
• Sprinkle Parmesan and any desired nuts or herbs over the top. Serve immediately with a drizzle of extra dressing as desired.

GRILLED CALAMARI AND ARUGULA SALAD

Steps:

• For the vinaigrette: Add the grapefruit juice and vinegar to a medium bowl. Add the olive oil while whisking to combine. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
• For the calamari salad: Mix together the oil, chili flakes, garlic, lemon juice and zest, parsley and some salt in a large bowl. Add the calamari, toss together and let marinate for 20 minutes or up to 1 hour. Preheat a grill to high heat. Remove the calamari from the marinade and skewer them. Skewering the rings of the calamari onto 2 skewers each will help to keep them on the skewer and not fall off into the grill. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and grill for about 2 minutes per side. They should be slightly charred and opaque. Add the calamari, arugula, grapefruit segments, fennel and vinaigrette to a large bowl and toss. Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately.

ARUGULA SALAD

Steps:

• In a bowl, toss together the arugula, onions, pumpkin seeds and shaved Parmesan. Season with salt. Drizzle with vinegar and oil and toss. Taste and re-season. Serve immediately.

GRILLED CALAMARI SALAD

Steps:

• Put 1 cup of the herb oil in a mixing bowl. Add calamari, cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 24 hours.
• Preheat a grill to high heat.
• Remove calamari, season with salt and pepper on both sides and grill for approximately 4 minutes per side. While the calamari is cooking, put all other ingredients and the remaining 1 cup herb oil in a mixing bowl. Slice calamari into thin juliennes, and add to all of the ingredients. Mix thoroughly, season with salt and pepper.
• Combine all ingredients. This can be prepared in advance and used for multiple recipes.

GRILLED SQUID SALAD

Steps:

• In a bowl toss squid with salt, chopped garlic and 3 tablespoons of the olive oil; season with pepper. Marinate 1 hour, refrigerated.
• In food processor combine anchovies and their oil with lemon juice until pureed. With motor running, slowly stream in remaining 1/2 cup olive oil. Thin dressing with 2 tablespoons cold water. Dressing should be smooth and consistency of cream. If it is too thick, thin with a little more cold water.
• Heat a charcoal grill until very hot, or alternatively, preheat broiler. On a fine-mesh grill, arrange squid in one layer and place over coals; grill, turning once, and remove as soon as squid turn opaque. Cool to room temperature. Alternatively, place squid on baking sheet and broil, turning once, 2 minutes per side or until opaque and just cooked through. Let cool to room temperature.
• In a large salad bowl combine squid with minced garlic, pine nuts and anchovy dressing. Toss with sun-dried tomatoes, capers and basil. Serve on a bed of green lettuce with garlicky grilled bread.

GRILLED CALAMARI WITH ARUGULA

Steps:

• Prepare grill for cooking. If using a charcoal grill, open vents on bottom of grill.
• Rinse squid under cold running water and pat dry with paper towels. If squid are large, halve tentacles lengthwise and cut longer ones, if attached, crosswise into 2-inch pieces. Pull off flaps from squid bodies, if attached, and reserve. Cut each squid body lengthwise along "seam" and open flat. Score large squid, including flaps, lengthwise with a sharp knife, making cuts close together (about 1/8 inch apart like ridges on rigatoni) and being careful not to cut through squid, then halve squid bodies crosswise.
• Squeeze enough juice from 2 lemons to measure 1/4 cup. Cut remaining whole lemon into wedges.
• Whisk together lemon juice, oil, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper until combined well and transfer 1/4 cup dressing to a large shallow bowl, reserving remainder. Add squid to dressing in shallow bowl, tossing to coat, and marinate at room temperature, turning once, 10 minutes.
• Thread 2 skewers through each squid body, near opposite sides of body (to keep squid flat during grilling). Thread all the flaps onto 1 or 2 skewers. Thread all tentacles crosswise (through thickest part) onto skewers, without crowding, letting tentacles dangle. Discard marinade.
• When fire is hot (you can hold your hand 5 inches above rack for 1 to 2 seconds), grill squid on a lightly oiled grill rack, uncovered, turning once, until they just turn opaque, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes total. Transfer to a cutting board and remove skewers. Cut squid bodies lengthwise into 1 1/2-inch-thick strips. Halve strips crosswise if using larger squid.
• Toss squid with 3 tablespoons reserved dressing and salt and pepper to taste in a clean bowl. Toss arugula in another bowl with just enough of remaining dressing to coat, then season with salt and pepper. Divide arugula among 4 plates and top with squid. Serve with lemon wedges.

GRILLED SQUID SALAD

Steps:

• Soak the capers in a bowl of water. Squeeze all the lemon juice into a large shallow bowl and add 4 tablespoons of oil. Peel the garlic and finely chop with the chilli, anchovies, pistachios, drained capers and mint leaves. Scrape it all into the bowl and mix together well.
• Reserving the tentacles, run a sharp knife down the length of each squid tube, cutting through one side only so you can open each one out like a book. Lightly score the inside of each tube in a criss-cross fashion at 1/2-centimeter (1/4-inch) intervals. To cook the squid, follow Franchina's guidance and get the tentacles on early, then add the tubes, from largest to smallest. In a screaming hot griddle pan or on a barbecue, cook each piece for about 1 minute per side--with no oil or seasoning--until lightly charred and starting to curl. Start with the cut side when you do the tubes, and keep the squid moving for even cooking. As each piece is done, use tongs to dunk it straight into the salsa, turning and coating it in all that flavour.
• Slice the tomatoes and lay over a serving platter. Finely slice the squid tubes, pull the tentacles apart, then arrange on top of the tomatoes. Spoon over all the remaining salsa and serve hot or at room temperature.

GRILLED SQUID SALAD

Steps:

• Start a charcoal or gas grill; fire should be quite hot, with rack no more than 4 inches from heat source. If using wood skewers, soak them thoroughly in water.
• Toss squid with 2 tablespoons oil, juice of 1 lemon, garlic, salt and pepper. Let sit while grill heats, tossing occasionally. Skewer squid on parallel skewers to facilitate turning. When fire is hot, grill squid until nicely browned, turning once. Total cooking time will be about 5 minutes.
• Toss greens with remaining olive oil, juice of 1 or 2 lemons (to taste), salt, pepper and shallots. Top with squid, drizzle all with a little more lemon juice and serve.

WARM CALAMARI SALAD WITH TOMATO AND ARUGULA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Heat 3 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook until lightly browned, about 15 seconds. Add the squid and cook for 1 minute. Pour in the wine and season with salt and pepper to taste. Place the skillet in the oven just until the squid curls into cylinders, about 2 to 4 minutes.
• Immediately remove the squid from the skillet with a slotted spoon. Place over medium heat, add the lemon juice and simmer until the liquid is reduced to about 1/3 cup. Return the squid to the pan. Remove the pan from the heat and toss in the tomato, parsley and arugula. Place on a platter, drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and serve immediately.

GRILLED SEAFOOD SALAD

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together oil, lemon juice, and parsley until well combined; set vinaigrette aside.
• Heat a grill that has a fine-mesh grill basket, or a grill pan, over medium-high heat. Place calamari, shrimp, and scallops in a medium bowl. Add 2 tablespoons reserved vinaigrette, and toss to coat. Grill seafood in batches until browned and cooked through, about 2 minutes on each side for shrimp and calamari, and 1 minute for scallops. Slice grilled calamari bodies into rings, and place in a clean bowl with remaining grilled seafood. Add shredded radicchio and arugula, and toss with remaining vinaigrette. Season with salt and pepper, and serve at room temperature on small plates or scallop shells.

ARUGULA SALAD WITH PARMESAN

Steps:

• Place the arugula in a very large bowl, ideally one that could hold twice as many leaves. Drizzle over the olive oil and use your hands to toss lightly, then add the lemon juice and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Lightly toss the greens until they are evenly glossy; avoid overmixing or crushing the greens.
• Add the Parmesan and toss just to incorporate. Taste. If the salad is too sharp, add another drop of oil and toss. If the salad is dull, add a sprinkle of salt and some lemon juice and toss. Eat right away.

GRILLED SQUID WITH FRESH RED CHILE AND ARUGULA

Steps:

• Dressing: Whisk together lemon juice and oil. Season with salt and pepper.
• Squid: Clean squid by cutting body open to make a flat piece and scraping out guts. Keep tentacles in their bunches but remove eyes and mouth. Using a serrated knife, score inner side of flattened squid body with parallel lines 1/2 inch apart, and then lines equally apart the other way to make crosshatching.
• To make the sauce, put chiles in a bowl and cover with oil. Season with salt and pepper.
• Heat grill for direct heat (or a grill pan on high). Place squid (including tentacles), scored-side down, on grill, season with salt and pepper, and grill 1 to 2 minutes. Turn squid pieces over; they will immediately curl up, by which time they will be cooked.
• Toss arugula in dressing. Arrange two squid bodies with tentacles on each plate with some arugula. Put a little chile sauce on squid and serve, with lemon quarters.
