Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make a salad with squid, rice and cucumber? To begin, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. You will find recipes for homemade mayonnaise after the last step. If you wish, you can add other ingredients to the salad to taste: bell peppers, olives, etc. You can complement the squid with other seafood: mussels, shrimp, etc.

Step 2

Step 2
First boil the rice in salted water, drain in a colander and cool. The rice should be crumbly and not sticky. If you want to choose the right rice for your salad, I recommend reading the article about the intricacies of choosing rice. The link is at the end of the recipe.

Step 3

Step 3
Clean the squid from the skin, internal films, remove the chitinous plate and entrails. Rinse thoroughly. If the squids are frozen, defrost them first, but not completely — frozen squids are easier to clean. Boil the squid in salted boiling water for 1-2 minutes, no longer, otherwise they will become rubbery and tasteless. If you have unpeeled squids, take them with a reserve, because after cleaning the net weight of the seafood will decrease.

Step 4

Step 4
Cool the finished squids and cut into strips. You can replace boiled squids with canned ones.

Step 5

Step 5
Wash and dry the cucumbers. Cut into small cubes or strips. The peel, if it is not rough, damaged or bitter, does not need to be cut off.

Step 6

Step 6
Combine squid, cucumbers and rice in a bowl. Season the salad with mayonnaise, season with salt and pepper to taste and stir.

Step 7

Place the salad with squid and rice in the refrigerator for 20 minutes. Then serve. Bon appetit!
