I had a hankering for squid but seldom eat it because its a pain to clean and prepare. But when I saw these huge squid (is there a 's' for plural?) last week in the frozen section, I knew I just had to have it for Christmas week.So here it is, served lightly in a fresh salad with a refreshing dressing.
Ingredients
4 large squid, cleaned. Separate the head and tentacles from the body. Slice open the pouch and score both sides so that it doesn't curl up upon cooking
Salad greens (whatever you like)
Dressing
1 tbsp special soya sauce (slightly sweet)
1 tbsp lime juice
1 tsp honey
1 to 2 bird's eye chilli or chilli padi, depending on how spicy you like it. Slice it up into slivers and remove the seeds.
Method
1) Grill the squid on a hot gridle. It'll take about 1 to 2 mins per side.
2) Assemble the salad ingredients and add the squid. You may want to slice it up.
3) Make the dressing and drizzle over the salad. Serve immediately.
