SQUID SALAD OR OCTOPUS SALAD - JAPANESE STYLE
You could either use squid or octopus for this salad, I have trouble finding octopus most times so I used squid. I normally buy my squid/octopus already cleaned and gutted. If your squid/octopus needs to be clean then remove the guts (discard) and legs from the body and rinse. Cut off the tips on the legs and discard, then chop the remaining leg pieces and body into bite-size chunks. Original recipe comes from 'Harumi's Japanese Home Cooking' by Harumi Kurihara but I have twinkled with it

Tips:

- Clean the squid properly: To clean the squid, remove the head, tentacles, and ink sac. Then, score the squid body in a criss-cross pattern to help it cook evenly.

- Use a variety of vegetables: This salad can be made with a variety of vegetables, such as cucumber, carrot, onion, and celery. Choose vegetables that you enjoy and that will add color and crunch to the salad.
- Use a light dressing: A light dressing, such as a vinaigrette, will allow the flavors of the squid and vegetables to shine through.
- Serve the salad chilled: This salad is best served chilled, so it is a great dish to make ahead of time.
