Cold Calamari Salad

This is a very easy and healthy appetizer.  This is my version, but feel free to alter according to your and/or your family's taste.


You will need: freshly bought squid, parsley, salt, pepper, lemon, garlic and olive oil.  You may substitute parsley with dill. 
  • 2 fresh squids (cleaned)
  • 1 lemon
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • salt, pepper, olive oil and parsley or dill to taste.
Fill a pot with water half way and squeeze half of the lemon.  Let it boil.  Add cut squid (calamari) to the hot lemon water.  Let the squid in the water under regular heat for 9-10 minutes until it is done.  Do not leave it for too long because it will get harder.  Be careful to watch it and remove from hot water.  Mix with the other half of the lemon, olive oil, salt, pepper, minced garlic and a sprinkle with parsley or dill. 

Enjoy!!!
