    Make the Lemon Vinaigrette

    In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning as desired.

  4. 4

    Combine the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine the sliced octopus, fennel, baby arugula, Itrani olives, and Peppadew peppers. Drizzle with the lemon vinaigrette and toss gently to combine.

    Transfer the salad to a serving platter and garnish with fennel fronds. Serve immediately.
