Steps:
- Bring 6 cups of water to a boil in a large pot.
- Cut the body of each squid crosswise into 1 inch slices and the tentacles into 1/2 inch pieces.
- Add the squid to the boiling water and cook for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, just until the water comes back to a boil.
- Do not overcook as squid has a tendency to get tough and chewy when overcooked.
- Drain immediately.
- Combine the remaining ingredients except the lettuce in a serving bowl large enough to hold the squid.
- Add the hot, drained squid and toss until well mixed.
- Set aside for at least 10 minutes (but best if marinated for 24 hours) stirring occasionally so that the dish can develop flavor.
- Can be kept in the refrigerator for 4-5 days.
- Serve on lettuce leaves.
SEASIDE SQUID SALAD
Steps:
- Thoroughly rinse the squid under cold water and pat dry. Cut the tentacles in half lengthwise. Cut the bodies in half lengthwise as well and then into 1/2-inch wide pieces. Set aside.
- Over high heat, bring 1/2 inch of water to a boil in a 6-quart saucepan. Decrease the heat in order to maintain a simmer. Place the squid in a steamer basket and gently set over the simmering water. Cover and steam for 2 to 4 minutes. Remove the steamer basket from the pot and plunge the squid into ice water to stop the cooking. Remove from the water and drain thoroughly. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, black pepper, cumin and cayenne pepper. Add the squid, tomato, onion, capers and cilantro and toss until combined. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour before serving.

Steps:
- Prepare the bell peppers and onions by slicing thinly. Add the bell peppers to an ice cold water bath while preparing other ingredients.
- Slice the pickled garlic cloves and set aside. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the pickled garlic juice that was part of the jar.
- Chop up the chilies, pac peow, cilantro, and green onions. Set aside.
- Score both squids by making narrow slices through the squid lengthways, careful not to cut all the way through. Turn the squid and score again to make small diamond shapes. This will allow the strips to curl up with a beautiful presentation.
- Cut the scored squid into bite size pieces, about 1 inch in length.
- Next, you'll want to blanch the squid. Put the squid in a heat safe bowl. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Ladle in the hot water from the pot to the heat safe bowl, and allow the squid to be blanched for about 30 seconds. Drain the squid, and repeat this process 2-3 times until the squid is cooked through. This method allows you to not overcook the squid. Overcooking the squid will turn it rubbery.
- Once the squid is cooked, add in the palm sugar, toasted rice powder, fish sauce, reserved pickled garlic juice, and lime juice. Stir it up.
- Add in the drained bell peppers, onion, and the rest of the herbs along with the crushed peanuts.
- For presentation, you can place the salad on a dish and surround with lots of green vegetables and herbs, adding the Thai chiles on top for a beautiful presentation of the dish.

CALAMARI SALAD
Steps:
- Rinse squid under cold running water, then lightly pat dry between paper towels. Halve tentacles lengthwise and cut bodies (including flaps, if attached) crosswise into 1/3-inch-wide rings.
- Cook squid in a 5- to 6-quart pot of boiling salted water , uncovered, until just opaque, 40 to 60 seconds. Drain in a colander and immediately transfer to a bowl of ice and cold water to stop cooking. When squid is cool, drain and pat dry.
- Whisk together lemon juice, vinegar, oil, garlic, salt, and pepper in a small bowl, then stir in onion and let stand 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine squid, olives, tomatoes, celery, and parsley in a large bowl. Toss with dressing and season with salt and pepper. Let stand at least 15 minutes to allow flavors to develop.
SQUID SALAD
Steps:
- Pour 2 inches of water into a large Dutch oven or pot and bring to a boil. Add the bay leaves and lemon peel, and continue to boil for a few minutes, until they release their aromas.
- Set a colander or steamer over (but not touching) the water. Slip the calamari rings and tentacles into the colander or steamer, adjust the heat so the water is simmering, and cover. Cook until the calamari is just cooked through and has gone from opaque to translucent, about 6 to 7 minutes.
- Combine the olives, celery, roasted pepper, salt, oregano, peperoncino, and lemon juice in a large bowl. When the calamari is done, add it to the bowl, drizzle with the olive oil, and toss. Sprinkle in the parsley, toss again, and serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:
- Mix two-thirds of the chillies and the garlic-infused oil in a large bowl and add the squid. Cover with cling film and leave them to marinate for at least 1 hr or overnight in the fridge.
- Just before serving, heat the barbecue or a griddle pan. Combine the avocado slices with the rocket. Divide between 6 small plates or bowls.
- When the barbecue is hot or your griddle pan almost smoking, add the limes, cut-side down. Tip on the squid, pressing lightly with the back of a fish slice to create charred lines. When the squid feels slightly firm, about 1 min 30 secs into cooking, turn over and press down with the fish slice again, cooking for another 1 min 30 secs or until the squid feels firm. Remove and place on a board.
- Slice the squid into 1-2cm rings and top each salad with a few rings and some crispy onions. Serve half a charred lime on the side for squeezing over, with the remaining chilli scattered over and a drizzle of garlic oil.

Tips:
- Prep the Squid Properly: Clean and remove the ink sac, beak, and eyes from the squid before cooking. If using frozen squid, thaw it completely before cooking.
- Tenderize the Squid: To make the squid tender, boil it for a few minutes in salted water or milk before using it in the salad.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the salad will taste. Use ripe tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, and fresh herbs.
- Chop the Vegetables Evenly: This will help the salad look more uniform and appealing.
- Don't Overdress the Salad: Use just enough dressing to coat the salad ingredients. Overdressing can make the salad soggy.
Conclusion:
Squid salad is a refreshing and flavorful dish that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its combination of tender squid, crisp vegetables, and tangy dressing, squid salad is a delicious and healthy meal that is sure to please everyone at your table.
