But we have tasted, appreciated, included squid in our menu and enjoy preparing all kinds of snacks from them. And the most popular dish with squid has become salad. Moreover, we prepare this salad both in a minimalist version and with various additives. For example, squid salad with cheese. Do you know how many recipes for this salad exist? We don’t know either. And no one will give you an exact answer to this question. But we will offer you several recipes.
Salad "Melody"

- Squids - 200 grams;

Dress the salad, stir and serve. Note: If you make the salad in advance, add the dressing and salt just before serving. Otherwise, the cucumbers will absorb water and the salad will be runny.
