Auntie Anna's Calamari Salad

Auntie Anna has so many specialties, but her calamari salad is one of my favorites.
You will always find this on her table next to her Sausage and Pepper Special!

Auntie Anna writes: "Some cooks add different spices,
but I think it takes away from the savory taste of the squid.
As you know by now, I'm a Plain-Jane!"
Sorry, Auntie Anna, you are far from plain!

Ingredients

1 lb. of squid
(including tentacles)
1/8 Cup of vinegar
1/4 Cup of Olive Oil
salt and pepper to taste
Salt and pepper to taste
A dash of red hot pepper!

Directions

Cut up squid into bite size pieces and simmer under 5 minutes in about a pint of water.
Do Not Boil!
Add a dash of vinegar to tenderize. If cooked to long, it will get tough.
Cool and strain. Save some liquid to add to salad if it is to dry.
Add salt and pepper to taste. Add a few flakes of red hot pepper!
Add 1/8 cup of wine vinegar and 1/4 cup of olive oil.
Chill and serve!

Cleaning squid can be a messy project. It is best to buy it cleaned!
