Grilled Calamari Salad with Spicy Mayonnaise
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lb (675 g) trimmed calamari, with or without the tentacles
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) olive oil
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) lime juice
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- Chopped flat-leaf parsley, to taste
- 6 cups (120 g) arugula or lamb’s lettuce
- 3/4 cup (180 ml) spicy mayonnaise
Instructions
- On a work surface, remove the tip of calamari. With a knife, open into large squares. With a sharp knife, score the flesh of each calamari square in a crisscross pattern, without piercing the flesh. Place in a large sealable bag. Add 30 ml (2 tablespoons) of oil, the lime juice, and garlic and marinate for about 15 minutes.
- Preheat the grill, setting the burners on high. Oil the grate.
- Remove the calamari from the marinade. Season with salt and pepper. Grill for about 30 seconds on each side.
- In a bowl, combine the lettuce with the remaining olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Serve the warm calamari over the salad drizzled with spicy mayonnaise.
