Grilled Calamari Salad

Grilled Calamari Salad

Ingredients:
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1/3 cup water
1 inner stalk lemongrass, finely chopped
1 tablespoon lime zest
1/3 cup white onion, thinly sliced
5 teaspoons lime juice
2 red chili peppers, seeded and chopped
1 pound calamari, cleaned
15 mint leaves, chopped
6 sprigs cilantro, chopped
1 tablespoon green onion, thinly sliced

Directions:
Baby greens (optional)
1. Combine fish sauce, water, lemongrass, lime zest, onion, lime juice,
and chili peppers in a small bowl; set aside.
2. Prepare a grill or broiler. Place the calamari on a broiler pan or in a
grill basket and cook over high heat until tender, about 3 minutes per
side. Let cool to room temperature.
3. Place the grilled calamari in a mixing bowl. Stir the dressing and pour
it over the calamari.
4. If serving immediately, add the mint, cilantro, and green onions.
Alternatively, allow the calamari to marinate for up to 1 hour before
serving, and then add the additional ingredients.
5. To serve: Use individual cups or bowls to help capture some of the
wonderful dressing. Alternatively, mound the calamari mixture over a
bed of baby greens and spoon additional dressing over the top.
