This Italian salad comes together quickly and couldn’t be easier to prepare. Look for cooked, frozen octopus in the freezer section of your market to save extra time.

Directions

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; add 1 smashed garlic clove and cook 30 seconds. Add 3/4 pound cooked octopus tentacles (sliced 1/2 inch thick) and cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in 2 teaspoons chopped oregano and 1/2 teaspoon each kosher salt and pepper. Transfer to a large bowl and toss with 1 thinly sliced carrot, 1 thinly sliced celery stalk, 1 diced red bell pepper, 1 minced small shallot and 2 tablespoons lemon juice.

The best octopus salad I have done. It was a hit with my family. The octopus was tender. I didn’t have celery so I substituted with leek. My son cannot wait for me to make it again.
