Mushroom salad with squid and cucumber
Description
A simple dish to prepare. The salad is made quickly and without any hassle. If you don't like canned squid, make the salad with boiled squid instead. To do this, bring salted water to a boil, add cleaned squid bodies and bring to a boil again. Drain the squid in a colander, let the water drip off, then place them in a plastic bag and seal tightly. Leave the squid to cool completely. The squid will finish cooking from their own residual heat and remain tender. For extra flavor, you can add red or green onion, or garlic. Mayonnaise can be replaced with sour cream, or use a mixture of equal parts sour cream and mayonnaise. Serve chilled.
