Charred octopus brings smoky depth and tender texture to this vibrant Mediterranean-inspired salad. Roasted potatoes, savory chorizo, and creamy white beans create a hearty base, while citrus, fresh herbs, and capers add brightness and contrast. The result is a layered dish that feels both rustic and refined.
How To Pick Octopus
To pick the best octopus at the grocery store, select a fresh or frozen specimen with bright, shiny skin (not dull) and firm, plump tentacles. It should smell mildly of the sea, not strongly of fish or ammonia.
