Ingredients

  1. 1/4 cup fresh grapefruit juice
  2. 1 1/2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
  3. 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  4. Sea salt
  5. Freshly ground black pepper
  6. 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  7. Pinch red chili flakes
  8. 1 clove garlic, peeled and finely chopped
  9. Zest of 1 lemon, plus juice of 1/2 lemon
  10. 1 small bunch fresh parsley, chopped (about 1/3 cup)
  11. Sea salt
  12. 1 pound calamari, bodies only, cleaned and sliced into 1/2-inch rings
  13. Freshly ground pepper
  14. 4 handfuls baby arugula
  15. 1 pink grapefruit, segmented
  16. 1/2 bulb fennel, shaved very thinly on a mandolin

Instructions

  1. For the vinaigrette: Add the grapefruit juice and vinegar to a medium bowl. Add the olive oil while whisking to combine. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  2. For the calamari salad: Mix together the oil, chili flakes, garlic, lemon juice and zest, parsley and some salt in a large bowl. Add the calamari, toss together and let marinate for 20 minutes or up to 1 hour. Preheat a grill to high heat. Remove the calamari from the marinade and skewer them. Skewering the rings of the calamari onto 2 skewers each will help to keep them on the skewer and not fall off into the grill. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and grill for about 2 minutes per side. They should be slightly charred and opaque. Add the calamari, arugula, grapefruit segments, fennel and vinaigrette to a large bowl and toss. Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately.
