Salad with squid and cabbage

4 servings

30 minutes

Squid and cabbage salad is a fresh, light, and unusual European recipe that combines the tenderness of seafood with the crunchiness of vegetables. The history of such dishes traces back to Mediterranean cuisine, where squid has long been an important ingredient due to its mild flavor and ability to harmoniously blend with other products. Cabbage adds juiciness, pickled cucumbers add zest, and apple contributes a sweet freshness. Olives, green peas, and herbs deepen the flavor, while mayonnaise unites all ingredients into a single delicate texture. This salad is perfect as a standalone dish, especially on hot days or as an interesting addition to the main table.
