Ingredients for Squid Rings Salad
- 14 oz squid rings (either fresh or thawed, your choice)
- 1 carrot (which you can omit if you can't or don't want to eat it)
- 1/2 celery stalk
- 1 Tropea red onion (fresh)
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 pinch fine salt
- to taste mixed peppercorns (freshly ground)
Preparation of Squid Rings Salad
Rinse the squid rings under running water (if frozen, thaw them first), then place them in a pot with plenty of water and put it on the stove. When it comes to a boil, cook for 20 minutes, then drain and let cool.
Meanwhile, prepare the dressing while the squid rings cool. Clean the celery from strings and discard parts, wash and dry it, clean, wash, and dry the carrot as well, then clean the onion.
Cut the carrot, onion, and celery into small sticks, then finely chop them (if you can’t or don’t want to do it by hand, use a food processor). Once chopped, place the vegetables in a bowl.
When the squid rings are well cooled, coarsely chop them and add to the vegetables, season with apple cider vinegar, oil, salt to your taste (taste to achieve your optimal flavor), and a sprinkle of freshly ground pepper, mix well and serve. If you like, garnish with fresh parsley before serving!
