I've used fresh and frozen squid for this recipe and both work welland smaller squid work best for saladwhich is something to think about when choosing your squid; buying them frozen and already cleaned is much nicer than cleaning a dozen dinky cephalopods. Cut squid into thin rings (1/4 inch max) and boil in salted water for 25 seconds (yepthey'll cook up that fast). Drain, then rinse under cold water to prevent overcooking (over-boiled squid can be quite rubbery).In a large bowl, combine sesame oil, olive oil, vinegar, chili garlic sauce, and ginger (also salt to tasteor dress with soy sauce). Mix well. Add squid, carrot, cucumber, and cilantro and toss with dressing.Add lemon juice (or substitute lime juice). Add soy sauce to taste.Mix all, top with sesame seeds, and serve over a bed of mixed greens.It's light, tasty, and suctioncupalicious.Bon apptit!
