Squid Salad
Salads • European
Description
Squid is one of the most accessible and popular seafood options in our country. It was also a highlight of the traditional fish Fridays: just one recipe of this salad speaks volumes! It is sometimes referred to as 'Nikita's Salad' in honor of a famous leader, under whose influence this dish began to be prepared in cafeterias across the country. The squid is best thawed slowly in the refrigerator; if done quickly, it will lose its texture. The optimal cooking time for squid is about five minutes, depending on its size. It is important not to overcook it, or it will lose moisture and become rubbery.
