Directions
Calamari, Tomato and Caper Salad,This is easy to make and will certainly impress whoever you serve it to because of its beautiful mix of colors and shapes. It also is very fast to put together. Adapted from Giada di Laurentis of the Food Network.,Oops, this is one I forgot to review during the Christmas rush. I apologise. A lovely salad!! I tweaked it somewhat to turn it into a starter — used sliced cucumber and left out the pepper flakes, and also, used raw tomato. For appearance, I put it in lettuce leaves of different colours. Hope you don’t mind. Also, I had very few capers left, so they got lost a bit, something I should have seen when taking the photograph, but didn’t. It’s hot here, it’s high summer, and this salad is definitely on the menu again! One hint: calamari rings, stirred in hot oil, cooks in just about 30 seconds, until opaque white. So I shortened your cooking time for the rings considerably. A great combo of flavours you have here, and I’ve bought two bottles of capers!! Thank you!
