The rest of that salad is a dealbreaker. Can’t do octopus with iceberg lettuce. Spinach, arugula, some nice mild blue cheese, maybe some pickled red onions and matchstick those cucumbers.

I’m genuinely asking, how do you decide what to put with octopus. Like I felt like I was picking the tentacles out and eating the salad separately
Dandelion_Man@reddit
Gotta think of flavor profiles, going with things that compliment each other. Like the saltiness of the cheese going with the sweetness of the red onions. The bitterness of the arugula would compliment light fishyness of the tentacles. Spinach just goes good with all things.

Man, your taste buds are way better than mine

I’ve been a cook since 2012 and I lived with French trained world cuisine chef. I’ve picked up a few things.

Yeah man. I'm now 34, lived with my father for many years. Picked up a few things as well. Doesn't mean I learned to fuck.

This reminds me of something from a crappy Greek restaurant and I’m here for it.

who thought i would wake up to see this very delicious looking salad ,but honestly i would try it cause they say never judge a salad by its ingredients (i just made this up)
JanaCinnamon@reddit
Looks a bit dry but otherwise delicious!

I’d take this any day, minus the iceberg lettuce. Octopus and squid are my favorite seafood

This is what they feed the turtles at Petsmart

Not a grain of seasoning to be found
StickyWhenWet1@reddit (OP)
Yeah that’s fair, I just barely seasoned the octopus
NasEsco1399@reddit
Some salt would do wonders lol. Maybe a vinegar based marinade for the octopus. The acid would have made it more tender.

Bro i’ll take the grilled alien by itself. bussin. but im an animal.

I like calamari more, and I feel like they’re scary smart… where I life it’s mostly catch & keep
Cleercutter@reddit
I love the “no recipe”
StickyWhenWet1@reddit (OP)
I named the dish and you think it won’t need a recipe?
ccReptilelord@reddit
Eww... raw onions?
ExistingBread9702@reddit
Who doesn't put raw chopped onions in their salads? It's a must.

It's really beautiful in a futuristic alien sort of way. Nice job OP. I would definitely chew on it.

Fun fact: I wasn’t allowed to cook this at home because of the smell

For me it would be a splash of Balsamic Vinegar & then Bobs your Uncle.
