Squid salad with fried onions is a sophisticated dish of European cuisine that combines the delicate texture of seafood with the sweet taste of caramelized onions. This recipe embodies the traditions of Mediterranean gastronomy, where squids are valued for their tenderness and rich flavor. Eggs add a pleasant density to the salad, while mayonnaise highlights its creamy notes, creating harmony among the ingredients. The key point is the proper cooking of squids: it is important not to overcook them to preserve their natural tenderness. The salad is perfect as a festive treat or a light appetizer for main dishes. Served chilled and garnished with fresh herbs and pepper, it makes for an aesthetically pleasing dish as well as delicious. A great choice for seafood lovers looking for original culinary solutions.
