The Chew: Grilled Calamari Salad + Chickpeas, Olives & Salami

The Chew: Grilled Calamari Chopped Salad With Chickpeas, Olives & Salami

In a segment they called M&M Grill Factory, Michael Symon and Mario Batali each made their own grilled dishes. Mario kicked it off with his Grilled Calamari Chopped Salad with Chickpeas, Olives and Salami. He explained that it’s important to buy whole tubes and tentacles that way it won’t fall through the grill as it cooks, and then you’ll slice it after it cooks. If you’ve only ever had fried calamari, you’ll most certainly want to try it grilled. And now, thanks to Mario, you can enjoy it at home!

This is one unique salad you will devour even faster than the time it took you to put it together. To get the recipe, click next page.
