A Marinated Squid Salad with red peppers and olives served with toast and white wine.

Marinated Squid Salad.

Super simple to make with tons of flavour! The squid is marinated with red wine, olive oil, red onions salt and lemon juice. Then tossed and served with red peppers, olives, lemon zest and chopped parsley. It makes a great appetizer served with a toast.

This squid salad is always the star on any charcuterie or seacuterie board.

This recipe was created in partnership with Marina Del Rey. Opinions in this post are my own.

What is a Seacuterie board?

A board or tray with various seafood options to nibble on, similar to a charcuterie board. Along with this squid salad, we would include snow crab legs (& claws) with a spicy mustard dip, grilled octopus, grilled shrimp skewers, smoked salmon, bread, crackers, capers/olives and lemon wedges.
