Salad from the hob

Thaw the squid pieces, drain, and heat briefly in the microwave, then drain again. Make a vinaigrette with vinegar, salt, pepper, a crushed garlic clove (if desired), and good olive oil, and add the still-warm squid pieces. Refrigerate for several hours, preferably overnight. The vinegar should make the meat as tender and tender as possible. Later, stir in the diced onion and tomato, as well as the chopped parsley. Adjust seasoning if necessary. Instead of frozen squid, you can also use squid pieces from the refrigerated section, which you can occasionally even find at a well-known discount store. Squid salad is on almost every menu in Croatia and is our favorite and most-eaten appetizer. It’s prepared a little differently everywhere. You can get salata od hobodnice (octopus, the squid with the long red arms) or salata od sepe (cuttlefish, squid, the squid with the small arms and the tube-shaped, usually white body).
