Octopus salad recipe

• Start with boiling the octopus – For this, bring a boil into a large pan, add the raw octopus, return the water to a boil for a few minutes. Then finally remove the octopus from the pot and keep it aside for cooling, preferably over a plain tray.
• Cut the octopus – For this, cut the octopus in large pieces and discard innards, beak, or anything that is not meat.
• Bake the octopus – For this, take an oven-safe bowl and make a bed of herbs by adding parsley, cilantro, and oregano and adding the cut octopus pieces on top of it. We are cooking octopus on top of these herbs so that the pieces don't stick to the bowl and get burned. 
•  For cooking the octopus, cut the pieces of octopus and cover the bowl. Bake it at 120°C for 105 minutes. Finally, check the meat tenderness towards the end of the timer.
• Now take out the octopus pieces again by removing it out and keeping it for cooling. Discard the herb bed as it won't be of any use now. When the cut octopus pieces have cooled down, prep the octopus pieces by removing any gelatinous structures that may be present in your cooked octopus. 
• Cut the meat pieces into smaller pieces and place them in a non-metal bowl. Now add all your prepped cucumbers, red onion, scallions, cilantro, dried oregano, and jalapeño, lime juice, vinegar, olive oil, salt and stir to combine.
• Now cover this salad mix and chill for 2 hours or overnight and add the chopped tomatoes just before you serve the salad.
