FAQ
Can I use pre-cooked calamari?
Yes, just skip the blanching step and toss it straight into the marinade with the carrots.
How long does the salad keep?
It stays good in the fridge for up to 2 days. The flavors actually get better after a few hours of marinating.
Can I substitute the rice vinegar?
White wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar both work as substitutes. Start with a bit less, since they're often sharper than rice vinegar.
