Squid Salad

RECIPE REVIEW #66  calamari with salsa verde and arugula

Time for another first for me, calamari or “squid”.  I have had fried calamari so was very excited to try it cooked differently.  Calamari is a protein and is good for the immune system.  It is also a good source of iron, calcium, and vitamin A & C.  Japan consumes the most squid in the world.

Arugula is a leafy vegetable.  It is native to the Mediterranean.  The nutrient profile is very similar to spinach.  It is high in vitamin A, C, & K, folate, and potassium.

The calamari was hard to cut, I should have used a sharper knife maybe.  Not a difficult recipe but I did not care for it.  I think it was the calamari, it was chewy.  The flavor of the salsa verde was good.  The dish was high in protein and low in carbohydrates.  The Weight Watchers points is 5.
