Lemon Calamari Salad

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the calamari tubes and cook for about 1-2 minutes, just until tender. Be careful not to overcook, as it can become tough. Drain and set aside to cool.

Prepare the Vegetables:
While the calamari is cooling, slice the red onion, olives, celery, red pepper, and tomatoes. Set them aside in a large bowl.

Make the Dressing:
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, dried oregano, salt, and pepper until well combined.

Assemble the Salad:
Once the calamari has cooled, slice it into rings (or leave the tubes whole, depending on your preference). Add the calamari to the bowl with the vegetables. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.

Serve:
Garnish the salad with extra lemon zest or fresh herbs, if desired. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
