There was quite a bit of prep work involved (especially cleaning the octopus but well worth the effort. My family and I thoroughly enjoyed this dish on Christmas Eve.

I am italian and for years we have been searching for another dish to add for our feast of fishes on christmas eve. Living in southern california provides the opportunity to utilize fresh seafood and fresh produce year round so this year we tried it (without the octopus. It was a hit (this coming from someone who is NOT a big lover of seafood! The flavors were fresh and light (perfect as the beginning to a very heavy meal, the seafood perfectly tender, and the colors of it all were gorgeous! This will definitely become part of the tradition for years to come!

This was VERY good. I will substitute with baby octopus next time - shorter cooking time & much more tender! This was so flavorful and pretty easy to prepare!

This salad was so fresh with the taste of the sea. The dressing was a perfect compliment. I didn't have Octopus so I increased the calamari, shrimp and scallops and it was delicious. I made it for Christmas eve and it will become a regular.

This recipe looked so intimidating, I almost didn't attempt it. Wow! I am glad I donned my chef's cap and decided to forge ahead. It was heavenly. The dressing was light, a wonderful complement to the seafood. The vegetables were crisp and colorful. And the best part? It wasn't as difficult as I thought it would be. The octopus took the most time and I imagine could be replaced with squid tentacles, or lobster for a different spin.
