• Heaping 80ml niçoise olives, finely chopped

How to make Calamari-Olive Salad

Rinse squid under cold running water, then pat dry between paper towels. Halve tentacles lengthwise and cut bodies (including flaps, if attached) crosswise into 1/8-inch-wide rings. Cook in a 4-quart pot of boiling salted water (1 tablespoon salt for 2.8L water), uncovered, until just opaque, 30 to 40 seconds. Drain and immediately transfer to an ice bath to stop cooking. When squid is cool, drain and pat dry.

Meanwhile, combine remaining ingredients and 1/4 teaspoons salt in a large bowl. Add squid and toss until combined well. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
