AVOCADO AND OCTOPUS SALAD: FRESH AND DELICIOUS

Ingredients

Ingredients for two people:

1 tray of half cooked octopus from el Rey del Pulpo

250 g cherry tomatoes

Lettuce

1 red onion

2 avocados

1 lime

Cilantro or parsley to taste

Black pepper

Salt

Virgin Olive Oil

HOW TO PREPARE

  •  The first thing we will do to prepare our avocado salad with octopus is to prepare the cooked octopus. We remove it from the tray, and as we are going to serve it cold, it is important to remove the gelatin. To do this, we can leave it for a while at room temperature or wash it under the tap.

  • The second step is to cut the octopus into slices, neither too thin nor too thick, about 2 mm approximately. Add it in a bowl and season it with salt and pepper. Set aside.

  • Next, we are going to cut into small pieces the rest of the vegetables: the red onion, the cherry tomatoes (they can be of another kind if you like them better or if you already had them at home) and the lettuce. Add everything in a bowl of your choice to prepare the salad.

  • Finally, peel the avocados, cut them into small dices and mix them in the bowl with the vegetables.

  •  Once we have all the ingredients mixed in the bowl, add the extra virgin olive oil, a squeeze of lime and a little parsley or cilantro, depending on the ingredient you like best to prepare this delicious avocado and octopus salad.

  • Finally, just stir everything well and enjoy this delicious salad.
