Octopus Salad

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Cook the Octopus

    In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the octopus and cook for 30-40 minutes until tender. Remove from water and let it cool. Once cooled, chop into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Tabbouleh

    In a bowl, combine bulgar wheat and 2 cups of boiling water. Cover and let it sit for about 20 minutes until the bulgar is tender and water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork.

  3. 3

    Mix the Salad

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked octopus, bulgar wheat, parsley, mint, diced tomato, cucumber, and sweet bell pepper.

  4. 4

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle olive oil and lemon juice over the salad. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Mix well to combine all ingredients.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before serving for the flavors to meld. Serve cold or at room temperature.
