Salad recipe with squid and egg, how to make a salad and how to choose the squid in the store

Before you prepare a squid, you need to buy it. If you buy frozen squid, then pay attention to how the carcasses are separated. If squid carcasses are well separated from each other, then they are frozen and stored correctly. If the carcasses are not separated from each other and look like a single monolith, then most likely the squid has been frozen repeatedly. Such squid is not worth buying. Their taste will correspond to the quality of freezing.

The carcase covering the carcass can be of different colors: from gray-pink to purple. Color, as well as the size of the squid, depends on the age and habitat( that is, at what time of year and in what sea the clam was caught).And here it is important to pay attention to this: the meat under the film must be only white.

So, squid is bought and I want to make some light salad from these "sea reptiles" at home. If there is no time to search on the Internet for a new salad recipe, then a completely safe option is a salad recipe with squid and egg. How to make a salad, we now tell you.
