It says cooked an cooled octopus recipe follows but there is no recipe... I had to look it up on another recipe...
A very nice, refreshing mediterranean salad. I added tomato and a squeez of lemon. I have made a note that it will work beautifully with grilled shrimp or squid.
Great Salad! I’ve added half pepper chopped into small squares and it compliments nicely.
