Note to the hostess
1. There are two types of films on the squid - colorless transparent, similar to polyethylene, and matte white or grayish. You need to remove both, and the first carefully, without any residue, because when boiling it tightens the carcass due to its own deformation. From fresh seafood that has not been thawed after the initial freezing, the inedible coverings come off very easily - just pick them up and pull them. Otherwise, you need to subject the shellfish to a contrast dousing, that is, do the same as with tomatoes, when you have to peel them from the tight skin.
2. Onions marinated in some aromatic fruit vinegar turn out to be very pleasant. Grape is the most accessible to domestic housewives: it is sold in grocery departments and is produced in Balkan and Mediterranean countries. And she is able to prepare raspberry for future use herself, especially in a good year, when the price for this berry is moderate.
Squid is a product that can be combined with eggs, cereals or vegetables. But for a quality salad, it is important to choose the right squid. Modern stores have a large selection of seafood, so it will be very easy to find fresh squid, which you just need to hold in boiling water for two minutes and can be used to prepare any dish. If you bought frozen squid, then you need to cook them for 4-5 minutes, but no more, because overcooked squid will become hard as rubber.
Squid and corn salad is a very light and simple salad. In general, any seafood goes well with corn, and if you add some greens, it will be simply a unique salad. It’s especially tasty if you add a lot of chopped dill to the squid dish. As a dressing, it is best to prepare a special sauce based on mayonnaise. But, if you don’t have much time, then simple mayonnaise is also perfect.

Step 1: prepare the squid.
To prepare this wonderful salad, fresh or, as in our case, frozen, already peeled squid without skin, chords, tentacles, and entrails are suitable; these can be purchased at any supermarket or market. First of all, without unpacking, place them in a bowl with cold running water and allow them to thaw.Step 2: prepare and boil the eggs.
Next, using a kitchen brush, very carefully wash the eggs. This process is necessary because the shells may contain pathogenic microbes that, if ingested by the human body, cause serious diseases such as salmonellosis and intestinal poisoning. Then we put the eggs in a saucepan, fill them with cold running water 2-3 fingers higher and put them on high heat. After boiling, reduce its level to medium and boil this ingredient hard for about 10–11 minutes. Then transfer it to ice water and cool to room temperature.
Step 3: cook the squid.
While the eggs are cooling, place a deep saucepan half filled with purified water over high heat. Season it with salt to taste and bring to a boil. In the meantime, wash the thawed squids and after 5-6 minutes, lower them into the bubbling liquid. Cooking seafood 2-3 minutes, but no longer, otherwise they will be hard as rubber. After the required time has passed, use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a separate bowl with cold water and cool completely.
Step 4: prepare the onions.
The main ingredients are cooling, it's time to move on to other important products. Heat a kettle with purified water. Then, using a kitchen knife, peel the onions, wash them, dry them with paper kitchen towels, place them on a cutting board and chop them into strips or half rings up to 5 millimeters thick. Transfer the slices into a small bowl and after a while pour boiling water from the kettle. Keep the vegetable in this form 2–3 minutes so that most of the bitterness comes out. After this, drain the water and allow the onion to cool.
Step 5: prepare the corn and boiled products.
Then, using a special canning key, open the jar of sweet candy corn and place it in a colander. Place it in the sink and leave it there for 5-7 minutes to allow excess marinade to drain.
Next, peel the boiled eggs and dip them, as well as the squid, with paper kitchen towels. Then, one by one, place these ingredients on a clean board and chop them into strips or slices 5-6 millimeters thick.
Step 6: prepare the salad with squid and corn.
Now take a deep bowl and put chopped chicken eggs, boiled squid, onions scalded with boiling water and corn that has already dried out. Season them with mayonnaise, salt and ground black pepper to taste. Mix everything with a tablespoon until smooth, taste it and, if necessary, add more spices. Salad ready! It can be served immediately or chilled and served a little later.
Step 7: Serve the salad with squid and corn.
Salad with squid and corn is served immediately after preparation or chilled, after infusing for an hour in the refrigerator. It is served in dishes specially designed for this purpose or in portions on plates, optionally decorating each with sprigs, and sometimes just leaves of fresh herbs, for example, dill, cilantro, parsley. Enjoy!
Bon appetit!
In addition to squid, you can use any other boiled seafood: shrimp, scallops, crab meat, crayfish;
An excellent alternative to mayonnaise is sour cream, cream or fermented milk yogurt without fillers;
If desired, you can add some fresh green onions, cilantro or parsley to the salad;
Very often, grains of fresh, pre-boiled corn are used;
If the squid is overcooked and turns out tough, don’t worry, everything can be fixed! Just continue cooking them for 2-3 hours until soft, of course, after cooking for such a long time, the seafood will lose its nutritional value, but its meat will become very tender and edible;
Black pepper is quite spicy and not to everyone’s taste, so sometimes it is replaced with allspice or white pepper.
Squid has long been known as a complete dietary product containing a sufficient amount of iodine. It is rich in protein, a whole complex of vitamins and amino acids, and polyunsaturated fats. Its meat has not only excellent taste, but also valuable nutritional properties. In our country, seafood became available not so long ago, but, nevertheless, the classic salad with squid and corn based on it has already won the recognition of real gourmets.
In our latitudes, squid are often sold frozen carcasses. Nowadays, a canned version is increasingly appearing in supermarkets - “Squid in Oil”, both natural and with the addition of herbs and spices. Squid fillet goes well with vegetable side dishes, it is especially good with potatoes, and is suitable for preparing various cold appetizers and salads. It can be combined with other seafood, as well as mushrooms and nuts. Squid “loves” all kinds of dressings and sauces based on vegetable oil, mayonnaise, and so on. There are many ways to prepare this dietary meat: it is boiled, fried, baked, steamed, marinated, and in each version the squid reveals its rich taste in a new way.
How to properly cook squid?
A very important step before cooking squid is processing and cutting the meat. If you bought frozen fillets, you need to keep them at room temperature or in cold water. The skin must be removed. To do this, put the squid in a bowl and pour boiling water over it - the film will curl and quickly pull away from the fillet. After which you can easily remove it with your hands or carefully pry it off with a knife. It is very important not to overcook the cleaned meat, otherwise it will become tight and tough. Squid is usually boiled for 2-3 minutes in lightly salted water. You need to take 3 times more liquid than the weight of the product itself. Some housewives add the juice of half a lemon to boiling water, and the meat becomes soft.
Delicate squid salad for every day

First, take the squid carcasses, peel them from films and throw them into boiling water for 2-3 minutes. When the squid is boiled, remove from boiling water and cool. It is better not to finely chop the squid, but to cut it into strips of medium or large size - in this case its taste will be more intense. Place the corn in a colander, then add the dry corn to the chopped squid. Eggs should be boiled, peeled and cut into cubes. Any greens go well with this salad: dill, parsley, and, if desired, green onions. Wash the greens thoroughly, dry them on a towel and chop them with a knife. Add salt and pepper to taste. Then add a few spoons of mayonnaise and mix, decorate with herbs - the salad is ready.
Salad with squid and corn “Martovsky”
It is not for nothing that the inhabitants of the Mediterranean are considered to have good health and live long lives. They eat a large amount of seafood, one of which is squid. It has a delicate taste and dense structure, works well in various salads and acquires many flavor shades in combination with different components. Pineapple and corn add a juicy sweetness to the squid and highlight its natural flavor.
Ingredients:

To make this salad, squid should be defrosted, the carcasses should be cleaned of entrails, the meat should be removed from the skin and boiled in salted water for 2-3 minutes. Make sure that the squids are not in boiling water for more than 3 minutes. If the squid is still overcooked and becomes “rubbery” and tough, then cook it further. The process will take 30-40 minutes, the carcass will decrease in size and volume, but it will become soft again.
When the squid is ready, remove it from the water and cool it. Dice all salad ingredients. In a deep bowl, mix the remaining ingredients: corn, chopped pineapples, add boiled eggs to the salad. A fresh cucumber will add spring March freshness to this salad: peel it and cut it into cubes - like other products. Then grate the lemon zest, only on a fine grater, and add it to the salad. All ingredients should be mixed well and then mayonnaise should be added to them. The “March” salad will look beautiful if it is served in bowls and garnished with a slice of lemon.
Squid salad with seaweed
Squid goes surprisingly well with various vegetables: fresh, stewed, pickled. It is especially wonderful in combination with seaweed. We suggest preparing a light but at the same time nutritious salad of squid and pickled seaweed. It should be remembered that squid meat is a protein product, and it must be handled very carefully during cooking.
Ingredients:
For the salad:
- Squid - 4 pieces
- Canned corn - 1 can

- One onion
- Carrots - 1 piece
For refueling:
- Vinegar 3% - 1 teaspoon
- Vegetable oil - 3 tablespoons
- Salt, spices - add to your taste
Cooking method:
The seaweed for this salad can be taken already marinated, natural or with spices - choose according to your taste. The cabbage needs to be freed from the brine and cut a little with a knife so that it is not too long. Add finely chopped onion to it, mix it with kelp and leave it to marinate.
Process the squid (defrost, clean), boil in salted water for several minutes, cut into long strips. Add canned sweet corn. It is better to grate the carrots on a coarse or medium grater and add them to the salad and mix. The salad will be much piquant if you prepare a simple dressing instead of simple vegetable oil. So, mix vegetable oil, a teaspoon of weak vinegar, salt and spices in a separate bowl. Pour this dressing generously over the salad and place on plates.

Remove the shells from the nuts and then dry them in the oven or in a frying pan for a few minutes, waiting until they brown a little.
Now is the time to make the salad dressing. The ginger needs to be peeled and finely grated. In a separate deep bowl, thoroughly whisk the olive oil, mustard and honey, add salt and pepper. At the end, add grated ginger and stir. Now it's a matter of design. You need to assemble the dish beautifully: place lettuce leaves on a large plate, place squid, avocado and pepper on top. Add some corn. Top generously with pistachios and generously drizzle with dressing. Leave the salad to soak for 10-15 minutes, and then you can safely serve it on the table!
