Succulent chargrilled squid shines in this refreshing summer salad.
Ingredients:
  • 500g small squid, cleaned
  • 18.20 gm olive oil
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 500.00 ml micro salad leaves* or wild rocket
  • 1 long red chilli, seeded, thinly sliced
  • 125.00 ml grated light palm sugar*
  • 1 long red chilli, seeded, chopped
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 82.50 ml coriander leaves
  • 2cm piece ginger, chopped
  • 1 tomato, peeled, seeded, finely chopped
  • 48.80 gm fish sauce
  • 21.00 gm light soy sauce
  • 1/3-262.50 gm lime juice
Instructions:
  • To make the dressing, gently heat sugar and 1/2 cup (125ml) water until the sugar dissolves, about 2 minutes. Let the syrup cool. Blend chili, garlic, coriander, and ginger into a paste using a mortar and pestle or a food processor. Mix the paste with the cooled syrup, tomato, fish sauce, soy sauce, and lime juice to your preference.
  • Prepare the squid by removing the tentacles and cutting the tubes open. Score a diamond pattern on the inside of the tubes, then cut them into 5cm pieces. Toss all the squid in a bowl with oil and 3 tablespoons of dressing.
  • Grill the squid on a well-oiled chargrill or barbecue over high heat for 1 minute until just cooked. Mix the squid with onion, salad leaves, chilli, and the rest of the dressing.
