Seafood Salad

Another dish we made on Christmas Eve. I crave seafood salad quite often - it is light and refreshing while being a solid meal or appetizer. The ingredients are so flexible, you can use whatever seafood/shellfish you have.

Ingredients

• Boiled Octopus or Calamari, chopped



Big guy!

• Boiled, Hydrated Baccala, broken into pieces
• Jumbo Shrimp, cooked and cut into halves
• 1-2 Lemons
• 1 tbs Red Onion, chopped
• 1/2 tbs Parsley, chopped
• 1 tbs Roasted Red Peppers, chopped
• 1  1/2 tbs Celery, chopped
• Black Olives, pitted (optional)
• Olive Oil
• Cracked Black Pepper
• Salt to taste

Once seafood is cooled - Combine it with onion, parsley, roasted peppers, celery, olives and mix together with lots of olive oil so that everything is well coated. Add in freshly squeezed lemon, cracked pepper, and salt (to taste! the seafood can be salty), mix well.  Set aside to absorb all flavors for 15 minutes or refrigerate if not serving right away.
