Seafood Salad

This vibrant seafood salad offers a sophisticated take on high-protein dining, combining tender grilled octopus with a crisp Mediterranean vegetable medley. The octopus is lightly seasoned with sweet chilli and grilled until perfectly charred, providing a delicious contrast to the cool cucumber and courgette. It is a fantastic choice for those seeking a light yet satisfying dinner that is packed with fresh, seasonal flavours and essential nutrients.

To finish the dish, a creamy dressing made with tangy goat’s cheese, yoghurt, and fresh mint provides a luxurious texture without being overly heavy. Served alongside toasted wholemeal pitas, this salad makes for an impressive weekend lunch or a nutritious midweek meal. The combination of zesty lemon and salty kalamata olives ensures every bite is balanced, making it a reliable favourite for healthy eating.
