Squid salad recipe
information
Serve with potato salad and a salad of lettuce and cucumber. Accompany with chunks of French bread and butter, and a glass of dry white wine.
Many fishmongers now sell squid and it is becoming increasingly popular, as it represents good value for money. Small squid (no more than 10 cm/4 inches long) are the most tender.
Ready-prepared, skinned and cleaned squid is sometimes sold, but it is more expensive.

1. Clean the squid and slice the flesh thinly into rings.

3. Put the squid, spring onions,
tomatoes, peppers and prawns into a serving dish. Blend the remaining oil with the lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Pour the dressing over the squid salad, then, using two forks, gently toss until coated in dressing. Cover the salad and refrigerate for 1 hour.
