Season calamari well with Braai & Grill Seasoning. In a mixing bowl, toss the garlic in 2 T (30 ml) olive oil and add the calamari tubes and heads. Stir to coat seafood with garlic oil. Stand for 30 minutes to an hour. Heat a griddle pan until very hot. Grill calamari briefly, only until grill marks appear, turn and cook on other side. Transfer to a plate. Cut open the bag of Sun-dried Tomatoes, drain the vinaigrette into a small jug. Add the drained Sun-dried Tomatoes to the calamari. Add sliced onion and the leaves of your choice. Drizzle 2 T (30 ml) of the reserved vinaigrette over the salad and drizzle with a little more olive oil.
