Salad Base

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vinaigrette

    In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, capers, and Kalamata olives. Cook until warmed through, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in red wine vinegar, salt, and black pepper to taste.

  2. 2

    Cook the Squid

    Clean and prepare the Humboldt squid by removing the skin and innards. Slice the body into rings. Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat, and lightly oil the surface. Cook the squid rings for about 1-2 minutes on each side until just opaque. Remove and set aside.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Salad

    In a large bowl, toss the frisée lettuce with the warm caper and olive vinaigrette. Top the salad with the grilled squid rings.
