Preparation time: 1 hour
Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients (for two people):

• 1 kg of octopus
• 1 kg of potatoes
• A tuft of parsley
• 60 g lemon juice
• 60 g of Extra Virgin Olive Oil All Leccino Bio

Procedure:

1. Cook the potatoes: Start by cooking the potatoes in boiling water for 30-40 minutes, until tender. Then drain and dice them about 2-3 cm.
2. Prepare the octopus: Meanwhile, clean the octopus and soak it in a pot of boiling water for about 50-60 minutes (depending on the size of the octopus). Once cooked, let it cool for 10 minutes, then cut into small pieces of about 2-3 cm.
3. Prepare the salad: In a large bowl, combine the cut potatoes, octopus, lemon juice and Extra Virgin Oil Tutto Leccino. Mix gently to evenly distribute the flavors.
4. Add the parsley: Wash and chop the fresh parsley and add it to the salad. Mix again, adding a little extra virgin oil to give even more flavor and a touch of freshness.
5. Serving: The salad is ready to be served, ideal as a main course or starter.

Final tip:

To make the octopus salad even more tasty, you can add some black olives and capers in salt, which will give a savory note. The contrast between the delicate taste of the oil and the savoury flavour of these ingredients will further enrich the dish.
