Preparation

Step 1
Cut bodies of the squid into rings about half an inch wide. Cut tentacles into bite-size pieces. There should be about three and one-half cups.
Step 2
Put the squid in a saucepan or small kettle and add the wine, water to cover, salt, pepper, garlic cloves, red pepper, bay leaf and parsley sprigs. Bring to a boil. Cover and let cook about one minute or just until squid pieces firm up. Drain and chill.
Step 3
Put the squid in a mixing bowl and add the remaining ingredients. Toss and serve chilled.

Tip

Freshly cooked shelled shrimp are also excellent in a salad with squid. Simply substitute a portion of shrimp for any given quantity of the squid.

One has to adapt to what one has; I used lime juice instead of lemon, added sliced black olives and a can of rinsed chick peas and served it over arugula and bibb lettuce. Also added about 2 TBs Soy Sauce. It was very, very good as a main course.
