DIRECTIONS

Chargrill the peppers in a hot griddle pan. Once they are grilled and cooled slightly, cut them into thinner strips.
Chop the squid into rings, but leave the tentacles whole.
Saute the squid in a hot frying pan with a little olive oil until they are lightly golden, this will take about 2 – 3 minutes.
Cut off the bottom (core) of the chicories, shred the leaves slightly so that you have a mixture of different sizes of leaves.
Mix the dressing ingredients together. Mix the squid, chicory and peppers in a bowl with the dressing before serving the salad onto plates. Serve immediately.
