Salad
Description
Perfect for an everyday table. You can either boil the squid for a few minutes in slightly salted water or use the method I suggest. With this method, the seafood meat remains very tender and soft. You can use either fresh or pickled cucumbers—whichever you prefer. Garnish optionally and serve.
