Salad with squid, shrimp, and cucumber
Description
A simple dish to prepare. The salad according to this recipe is delicious and easy to make. The combination of shrimp and squid works particularly well; the other ingredients serve as a background that enhances the distinctive flavor of the seafood and accentuates its delicate texture. To make the salad juicier and lighter, I suggest adding a bit of Chinese cabbage—it fits perfectly into the mix. Don't forget fresh herbs; today I'm using parsley and dill. Serve chilled.

Step 7
After cooling the squids in cold water, thoroughly rinse them under running water. Remove the membrane and take out the chitinous plate from the inner cavity of the body. Slice the cooked and cleaned squid bodies into thin rings; this way, the squids will be especially noticeable in the salad, and the flavor accent will be focused on the seafood.
