Step 1
1. First, you need to prepare the pepper. If time allows, it's best to do this about 2 hours before the main cooking process. Wash the pepper thoroughly and dry it. Then roast it over fire until the skin turns almost black. After that, wrap it in aluminum foil and let it simmer in a warm place.

2. The next preparation step involves the onion. It should be peeled, sliced into thin half-rings (or full rings if the onion is small), and then covered with balsamic vinegar. Of course, if balsamic vinegar is not available, you can use any other vinegar in this diet squid salad recipe.
