SPICY CALAMARI SALAD



Spicy Calamari Salad image

This is my copycat recipe for a delicious salad I recently had in Nexxt Cafe, Miami Beach. I couldn't find a recipe for it, so I'm making it up from what I remember. If you are there on vacation, this is a must. Since I'm doing the best I can to re-create it, please feel free to make suggestions or comments. For the calamari, I guess you could make it from scratch; there are some good recipes here or just buy it at a restaurant. The "spicy" was very mild. For the vinaigrette find a recipe that goes well with it. I will experiment and taste a few different combinations and make updates as needed. I think some chopped avocados would go well with it.
