Grilled squid with olive oil and lemon is a true embodiment of Mediterranean cuisine, where simplicity meets rich flavors. Its ease of preparation makes it an ideal choice for summer dinners outdoors. The tender meat of the squid, grilled to a golden crust, absorbs the aroma of olive oil and the freshness of lemon juice, creating a harmonious blend of sea and citrus notes. Traditionally, the dish is served with parsley and lemon slices that highlight its natural freshness. In Mediterranean countries, it is prepared as part of family meals, enjoying its mild taste and rich aroma. This dish pairs perfectly with white wine and fresh vegetables, adding lightness and sophistication to the meal.
