Easy to prepare and very elegant on a plate, salad with squid, vegetables and smoked cheese is perfect for guests or just as a treat for yourself. Tender to taste, the mollusks are quite affordable, unlike other seafood, and literally a couple of minutes are enough to cook them. Mini squid are better suited for this salad - they are good because they get beautiful scorch marks from the grill. To make it easier to cut them up, you can slightly freeze the fresh carcasses.
