Directions
On this website, you can find a separate recipe that explains how to cook octopus the Sicilian way. Now, let’s make a salad out of it, again in the Sicilian way. This recipe does not include garlic. The primary dressing consists of olive oil, lemon juice and its zest, salt and pepper. To make a lighter salad, we’ll add fresh vegetables such as cherry tomatoes, celery stalks, and parsley greens. For a heartier salad, you can add boiled potatoes. Slice the potatoes while they are still hot and add them to the salad. This way, the potatoes absorb the juices and dressing, resulting in a gorgeous taste.
We visited Sicily in winter, during the season of oranges and citron (Citrus medica). The market offered them in great abundance. So, we decided to add citron slices to our salad. It turned out to be absolutely delicious!
