For this recipe I removed some of the traditional ethnic ingredients used for it like fish sauce, fermented shrimp paste and palm sugar which unless you cook Thai curries once every two weeks I wouldn’t think you need them in your cupboard and I used simple everyday ingredients instead.

I have grown up eating salads at least once a day if not twice. Most often than not it was just a mix of lettuce leaves and ingredients that we had at that particular moment in time. From all those years of mixing and matching I came out with endless combinations, but this is one that I always come back for. Refreshing, summery and super healthy.

In Spain, we love squid it in all its ways, not just in the ubiquitous deep-fried version. In this unusual salad you will find the saltiness of the pan-fried squid and chorizo combined with the bitterness of the chicory and the acidity of the sherry vinegar is a match made in heaven.
