Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Cook the Calamari

    Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the sliced calamari and cook for 2-3 minutes, until they are opaque and tender. Do not overcook, as calamari can become tough.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Dressing

    In a bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well mixed.

  3. 3

    Combine and Chill

    Drain the cooked calamari and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Once cooled, drain again and pat dry. Toss the calamari with the dressing until well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Serve the chilled calamari on a platter, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
