This is a two-part review. The octopus was excellent. It was tender, yet firm. I was initially worried that the sauce used to cook it might over season it, but it turned out very mildly seasoned...almost like scallops.

The salad was way too bitter. I think that the combination of the radicchio and the lime juice made it too bitter. Having said that, that type of salad is a great accompaniment to the octopus.

5 stars for the octopus and 2+ stars for the salad.

I kinda cheated : since earlier today I was at a wonderful Greek Festival and had grilled octopus that I couldn't finish. I typed in "Grilled Octopus Salad" here and found this recipe. So I used the leftover octopus and had all of the other ingredients on hand so this worked out great. Next time I'll attempt to cook the octopus myself, since I'll definitely be making this again.

This recipe is easy and the results are fantastic. The octopus is tender and very flavorful. The contrast between the sweet octopus and the bitter greens works well.
