After dinner at Kellari, I had quite a few grilled calamari left. My personal trainer told me I'm not allowed to have carbs after 6 pm, so I made the following salad a few nights ago for dinner.
There are no exact measurements (as is very typical when I cook).
grilled calamari
lettuce mix
black canned beans, drained, rinsed
red onions, thinly sliced
segmented orange (see how to video here)
olive oil
salt & pepper
1. In a bowl combine all ingredients. Mix. Enjoy.
Other variations: if you happen to have leftover grilled calamari, you can also make a salad from it with tomatoes, cucumbers, corn and feta--a more of Greek feel.

Your salads are one of a kind! Never thought of putting squid in my salad..
Looks tasty! Technically, beans are sometimes considered carbs though.
Love this fried calamari in salad. Delicious!
I can't believe you can stop eating carbs at 6! Good for you! At least this salad looks tasty enough to keep you from missing them. I really don't think I could do it. I could see myself now, with a big bowl of pasta, stuffing my face when I get home at 5:30 until 6... just so I could get my carb fix before then!
Sounds delicious and healthy! I have to say, I would never think to pair calamari with black beans and oranges, but why not? Your picture is enough to sell me on it!
ooh, i don't have patience to prepare the oranges that way, but they do look pretty
Oranges are a nice addition! No carbs after 6 must be tough!
I must say I do like eating calamari but when it comes to buying it I can't seem to get myself to do it! This is very pretty!
Gorgeous salad!
A very easy yet yummy salad.
This is mouth watering. What a great picture too :)
Ooh, looks so good! I love calamari and it's always inexpensive at the farmers market.
No exact measurements...mm I can't repeat it! Adore the mix of colors and texture :)
Have a great weekend,

Squid is so versatile! Looks great.
Love the pictures! That is a healthy and delicious salad!
I love calamari but am hesitant to make it at home because i worry it will get tough and rubbery. Any tips on how to cook with it the right way?
That is a lovely looking salad Olga. I am always a little hesitant when not adding any carbs at all into the salad as I just know I will get so hungry later in the evening! Was that ok for you with this salad?
Calamari makes a really nice salad. Always beautiful and it's great grilled. Citrus is always nice!
