Salad with seaweed and squid

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 15 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make a salad with seaweed and squid? Prepare your food. If the squid is frozen, defrost it first. Fresh cucumber, medium size. You need pulp from the pumpkin, the weight is indicated without skin. Pickled seaweed, you can marinate it yourself first, or you can buy it ready-made in a jar. For salad dressing I use olive oil, you can use any vegetable oil. Put water on the fire to cook the squid.

2. STEP 2

   

   Wash the squid carcasses under running cold water, remove the skins and remove all the insides. Lightly salt boiling water for squid and dip the squid carcasses into it. Boil for 2 minutes and remove the squid. Cool them on a plate. You shouldn’t cook the squids longer, otherwise they will become tough and this can ruin the salad. For a more attractive salad, you can use mini squid.

3. STEP 3

   

   Peel the pumpkin and cut into thin strips. This can be done with a knife or using a Korean carrot grater. Boil the chopped pumpkin in the squid broth for 3 - 4 minutes (depending on the thickness of the slices). Drain in a colander, drain and cool. Place boiled chopped pumpkin in a salad bowl.

4. STEP 4

   

   Cut the cooled squid into thin strips and place in a salad bowl with the pumpkin.

5. STEP 5

   

   Remove the seaweed from the jar and drain all the liquid. Add the required amount of cabbage to the salad.

6. STEP 6

   

   Rinse the cucumber and dry with paper towels. Cut the fresh cucumber into thin strips and add to the salad.

7. STEP 7

   

   Lightly salt the salad (if required), add ground black pepper or other spices to taste. Season the salad with a small amount of vegetable oil. Mix the salad and you can serve it.

8. STEP 8

   

   The salad can be served as an independent dish, as a snack or as a main meal for people on a diet. As an appetizer, the salad goes well with potato and rice dishes.

Salad with seaweed and squid is very healthy and light. But before you cook it, make sure you are not allergic to seafood. I prepared all the ingredients; unfortunately, our store didn’t have frozen squid, so I bought it in a jar. They are already prepared, no need to cook them. I had frozen pumpkin, cut into cubes. Before cooking, I defrosted the pumpkin. The cucumber was cut into strips. I put pumpkin, squid, cut into rings, seaweed and cucumber in a salad bowl. I didn't add salt. I dressed the salad with a spicy basil and avacado dressing and also added a salad seed mix. This mixture includes flax seeds and small pumpkin seeds. It turned out very tasty and healthy.

Just a wonderful salad. And most importantly - fast and tasty! I generally love seafood - I think it’s light and healthy food. It is rich in iodine and other substances necessary for the body. And I have had warm feelings for seaweed since childhood. And thank you even more for the step-by-step photos and for the recommendation to cook the squid correctly. Now I understand why before this the squid turned out to be hard, tough and rubbery.

The main thing here is not to overcook the squid, so you can buy it ready-made, frozen and already cooked. I make this salad from cabbage, which is sold by weight in a fish supermarket.

Nina, that's right. Squid is easy to spoil. And sometimes I take a salad with onions, because sometimes there is no pure seaweed on sale. Delicious.

I would add marinated onion half rings to this dish; it goes very well with both squid and seaweed. In general, the salad is interesting because it is very healthy and quick to make.
