    Barbecued Calamari Salad (http://adelineandlumiere.com/2012/02/20/barbecued-calamari-salad/)

    serves 2

    1 handful of rocket
    1 handful of spinach
    1/2 carrot grated
    12 baby tomatoes halved
    1/2 an avocado diced
    small handful of sprouts

    For the dressing

    1/2 chilli chopped
    1 teaspoon sesame oil
    2 lemons
    1 teaspoon olive oil
    1 clove of garlic finely chopped
    1/4 preserved lemon finely chopped
    2 teaspoons sugar
    salt and pepper
    2 squid tubes

    1. Place rocket, spinach, carrot, avacado, tomato and sprouts into a big salad bowl.

    2. Cut open the calamari so they’re laying flat on the board. Lightly score one side in a criss-cross pattern and then cut into 2cm strips and place in a bowl. Once all pieces are scored, squeeze the juice of one of the lemons over the calamari ensuring it’s all coated well. Let it rest for 5 minutes, mixing it regularly so that the lemon coats it completely. The acid in the lemons will soften the calamari so it’s nice and tender. Turn the barbecue up to a medium heat and shut the lid to let it warm up.

    3. Meanwhile to make the dressing, in a small bowl add chilli, sesame oil, olive oil, juice of the other lemon, garlic, preserved lemon, sugar and salt and pepper to taste. Mix well.

    4. Once the calamari has softened, place it on the barbecue scored side down and let it cook for one minute and turn over to cook the other side. Once completely cooked, add the calamari to the salad and plate up. Drizzle the dressing over the top.

    I had a great salad when I was at Curves but haven't been able to find the recipe. Its got pine nuts and an Asian dressing. Anyone know the salad I'm talking about? It was supposed to have come from one of the Curve's newsletters but I couldn't find it.
