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..
ReplyDeleteLooks tasty! Technically, beans are sometimes considered carbs though.
ReplyDeleteLove this fried calamari in salad. Delicious!
ReplyDeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteSounds 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!
ReplyDeleteooh, i don't have patience to prepare the oranges that way, but they do look pretty
ReplyDeleteOranges are a nice addition! No carbs after 6 must be tough!
ReplyDeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous salad!
ReplyDeleteA very easy yet yummy salad.
ReplyDeleteThis is mouth watering. What a great picture too :)
ReplyDeleteOoh, looks so good! I love calamari and it's always inexpensive at the farmers market.
ReplyDeleteNo exact measurements...mm I can't repeat it! Adore the mix of colors and texture :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend,
Gera
Squid is so versatile! Looks great.
ReplyDeleteLove the pictures! That is a healthy and delicious salad!
ReplyDeleteI 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?
ReplyDeleteThat 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?
ReplyDeleteCalamari makes a really nice salad. Always beautiful and it's great grilled. Citrus is always nice!
