Preparation Instructions

1

Prepare the Octopus

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cleaned octopus and cook for about 30-40 minutes until tender. Once cooked, remove from water and let cool. When cool enough to handle, cut the tentacles into bite-sized pieces.

2

Grill the Octopus

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Toss the octopus pieces with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Grill for about 3-4 minutes on each side until nicely charred.

3

Prepare the Salad

In a large bowl, combine the grilled octopus, red onion, cherry tomatoes, parsley, and arugula or mixed greens. Drizzle with the remaining olive oil and lemon juice, then toss gently to combine.

Serve

Adjust seasoning with more salt and black pepper if needed. Serve immediately in a takeout container for carry-out.
