How to Make Kalamari Salad
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup red wine vinegar, 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 tablespoon sugar, salt, and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Whisk until emulsified.
- In a saucepan of boiling salted water, add 1 pound cleaned calamari. Cook for exactly 45 seconds.
- Immediately drain the calamari and rinse under cold water until completely cooled. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the cooked calamari with 1 cup cherry tomatoes (halved), 1/2 cup Kalamata olives (pitted and halved), 1/2 cup chopped red onion, and 1/2 cup chopped cucumber.
- Pour the prepared dressing over the calamari and vegetables.
- Gently toss to coat everything evenly.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or up to 24 hours, to allow the flavors to fully develop before serving.
