Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fried Calamari

    In a bowl, combine the flour, salt, and black pepper. Dredge the calamari in the flour mixture, dip in the beaten egg, and then coat with breadcrumbs. Heat the olive oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat.

  2. 2

    Fry the Calamari

    Once the oil is hot, fry the calamari in batches for about 2-3 minutes or until golden and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Salad

    In a large bowl, toss the field greens with the asiago cheese.

  4. 4

    Make the Vinaigrette

    In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, balsamic vinegar, honey, and a pinch of salt and pepper.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Salad

    Place the fried calamari on top of the mixed greens and drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad. Serve immediately.
