Squid Salad

Last weekend my Mum can to stay for a couple of days and we went to Borough Market on the Saturday morning. We found a lovely fishmonger there and we got a huge squid from him for supper. Flicking through my recipe books we found this Squid Salad recipe and had it as a starter. Originally the recipe calls for cooking the squid in stock but I suspect this is a sure fire way to making it rubbery, so we griddled it instead and it was delicious and not rubbery at all.
