Method

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Octopus

    Char the Spanish octopus on a hot grill or skillet until cooked through and slightly charred. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Remove and let it rest, then slice into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Mix the Salad

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the kale, gem romaine, shredded cabbage, white beans, cucumber, and fennel. Toss gently to combine.

  3. 3

    Make the Vinaigrette

    In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, smoked paprika, red wine vinegar, honey, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Salad

    Pour the vinaigrette over the salad mixture and toss thoroughly to coat. Add the sliced charred octopus on top and serve immediately.
