Preparation
Step 1
You can replace boiled squid with canned squid. Use large eggs. If using small eggs, take 4. Adjust ingredient proportions to taste.
Step 2
Clean the squid: remove skin, inner films, chitin plate, and insides. Rinse well. If using frozen squid, thaw slightly (partially frozen squid is easier to peel). Boil squid in salted water for 1-2 minutes only; otherwise, they become rubbery. Cool and cut into thin strips.
Step 3
Boil the eggs hard (place in boiling water for 7-8 minutes / about 212°F). Cool, peel, and cut into strips.
Step 4
Drain liquid from canned corn and dry the kernels.
Step 5
Rinse parsley, shake off moisture, and chop finely. You may substitute or add dill, green onion, or a mix of herbs.
Step 6
In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise with mustard. You can use Dijon, or French mustard.
Step 7
In a mixing bowl, combine squid, canned corn, eggs, and part of the chopped herbs.
Step 8
Dress the salad with the mayonnaise-mustard mix and stir. Optionally, season with salt and pepper, though mayonnaise and mustard already give enough flavor.
Step 9
Sprinkle the salad with the remaining parsley and serve. Enjoy!
