Everyday Dorie: Warm Squid Salad

I eat a big salad most days; usually that means a hastily hacked up heap of lettuce, cuckes, tomatoes, and whatever other veggies I find rummaging through the fridge. This Warm Squid Salad is a little more refined and prepared with a bit more intention than those…a “weekend salad,” perhaps I’d say. I enjoyed making a pretty plate of quick-cooked squid, boiled baby potatoes, slices of avocado, celery and red onion, cherry tomato and bell pepper in a citrus dressing. I enjoyed eating it, too. I don’t cook squid often, but it was super easy to just give it a quick simmer. Also, it required basically no preparation since my fish guy sells it already cleaned. I like the tentacles the best (is that gross?), so I asked for extras. With the light dressing, this felt very fresh and healthy.

For the recipe, see Everyday Dorie by Dorie Greenspan, and head over to Cook the Book Fridays (this is a make-up recipe for me) to see how the group liked this one.

So pretty! We loved this one too! I wish I had a fish guy haha…I only had frozen fish medley from Trader Joe’s but it worked perfectly. I remember we loved this one.

I didn’t make this one yet but I think I’m going to use shrimp instead of squid, despite your encouragement otherwise. I have to say, it is truly a beautiful salad and it does look like something I would love to eat, but in Indiana, I’m pretty sure there isn’t any fresh squid to be had so unsure of the sourcing. I, too, do a salad most every day and it is usually composed of, as you say, whatever I find in the frig. A beautiful photo of a beautiful salad.
