What Do I Need?

Ingredients
- 1 package calamari, thawed
- 2 cups zucchini squash, spiralized
- 2 cups beets, spiralized
- 12 ounces black olives
- 1/2 cup grape tomatoes, sliced
- 1 tbsp. dried chili flakes
- 1 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp. capers
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Dressing:
- ¼ cup lemon juice
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp. minced garlic
- 3 tbsp. Dijon mustard
- 3 tsp. coconut aminos
Directions
Bring a large skillet to medium heat with the 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil. Pat the calamari very dry with paper towels.
Place the calamari in the skillet. Cook 2-3 minutes, turning the calamari one time until the calamari are stiff yet tender. Remove from the heat and set aside.
Prepare the salad dressing by whisking together the ingredients in a ramekin.
Assemble the salads by dividing the beet and zucchini noodles evenly among 2 salad bowls. Then top each bowl with the olives, grape tomatoes, capers and dried chili flakes.
Top each with the cooked calamari, drizzle with the dressing and fresh parsley.
