Squid Salad
5 servings
20 minutes
Squid salad is a refined dish of European cuisine that combines sea freshness, crunchy vegetables, and aromatic herbs. Light yet nutritious, it is perfect as an appetizer or a light dinner. Tender mini squid rings harmoniously blend with crispy cucumbers, sweet peppers, and tangy red onions, while mushrooms and eggs add richness to the flavor. Dressed with olive oil, the salad gains softness and balance, while sesame seeds provide a nutty touch. Thanks to the combination of fresh ingredients and spicy notes of garlic and dill, the dish has a rich taste and appetizing aroma. It is best served chilled to highlight its refreshing qualities and make it an excellent choice for warm summer days.
