Ingredients

Servings:3
  • 1 lb Pre-cooked octopus tentacles
  • 1/2 cup Fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 cup Red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 tsp Spanish smoked paprika (Pimentón)
  • 2 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1/2 cup Cucumber, diced
  • 1/2 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 tsp Sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp Black pepper
  • 1 tbsp Jalapeño, seeded and minced(optional)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Slice the pre-cooked octopus tentacles into 1/2-inch thick bite-sized rounds.

  2. 2

    Place the sliced red onion in a small bowl of cold water for 5 minutes to reduce the sharpness, then drain well.

  3. 3

    In a large glass or ceramic bowl, whisk together the fresh lime juice, extra virgin olive oil, and smoked paprika.

  4. 4

    Add the octopus, onions, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and minced jalapeño to the lime mixture.

  5. 5

    Toss the ingredients gently to ensure every piece of octopus is thoroughly coated in the marinade.

  6. 6

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the octopus to absorb the citrus.

  7. 7

    Just before serving, fold in the fresh chopped cilantro and season with sea salt and black pepper to taste.

  8. 8

    Serve chilled in small glasses or over crisp corn tostadas for a traditional presentation.
