Salad with squid and fresh cucumber
4 servings
15 minutes
Squid and fresh cucumber salad is an exquisite dish of Pan-Asian cuisine that combines the tenderness of seafood with the freshness of vegetables. Squid, known for its soft texture and subtle sea aroma, pairs perfectly with crunchy cucumbers and sweet onions. A light sour cream dressing makes the flavor even more harmonious, adding creamy softness. This salad is ideal as an appetizer or light dinner, especially in hot weather. Due to its simplicity in preparation and availability of ingredients, it has become popular in home kitchens and restaurant menus. It can be served chilled, garnished with herbs or thin slices of lemon to emphasize the natural freshness of the components.
