Salad with squid and pickles

Easy to prepare salad with few ingredients. An interesting point is the use of pickled cucumbers. Unlike salty ones, they have a slight sour-spicy flavor, which remains noticeable in the finished salad. Chopped onions accentuate this flavor. For the squid to be tender, it is important to prepare them correctly. The time of their heat treatment, the method of cutting and other important nuances are described in detail in the recipe with step-by-step photos.

An excellent salad, which is suitable as a cold snack, and can be served as a side dish. The pieces of pickled cucumber in the composition add juiciness to the dish and go well with squid. We recommend treating onions with boiling water to remove the harshness and soften the pungency. Alternatively, you can also use red onions - they are sweeter and softer in taste. For serving, we use green lettuce leaves, on which the dish looks much brighter and more appetizing.
