- Rinse all the squid under running water and drain in the colander. Fill 5 or 6 quart pot full of water, add 2 tablespoons of salt and boil squid pieces for a brief 40-60 seconds, then remove from pot and immediately plunge into ice water to halt cooking. When squid pieces are cool place them in a bowl. In another small bowl, whisk together lime juice, orange juice, olive oil, lemon infused oil, garlic, salt & pepper. Add vegetables to the bowl with the squid pieces and toss with dressing. Let salad stand, tossing occasionally, for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to develop.
- Now serve chill or room temperature.
