30 minutes

Squid salad with feta cheese and grapes is a true embodiment of Mediterranean elegance. Italian cuisine is renowned for its combination of fresh and natural ingredients, and this recipe is a bright example of that. Tender squid, barely touched by boiling water, gains softness, while salty feta adds richness to the salad's flavor. Sweet grapes bring lightness and freshness, creating a balance between sea and dairy flavors. Salad leaves serve as the perfect backdrop, while drops of lemon juice and olive oil highlight the harmony of ingredients. This salad is great as a light appetizer or an exquisite complement to a main dish, emphasizing the sophistication of Italian gastronomy.
