Method:

Rinse the calamari rings under the cold tap. Pat dry on paper towels. Toss the rings with the olive oil and Fish Spice. Preheat a non-stick frying pan. Stir-fry the calamari rings in batches until just done. Remove from the heat and leave to cool.

Keep covered in a glass bowl until serving time. Prepare all the ingredients for the salsa, cover and store in separate containers in the fridge. To serve, toss all the salsa ingredients together.

Dish up on a bed of lettuce and top with grilled calamari. Drizzle Honey Mustard Dressing over the salad and on the plates.

Sprinkle with Chilli & Garlic Seasoning.
