Even though I know the fact that octopus has high cholesterol value, I still use them in salad such as this :p This is a easy to prepare salad . First ,I will pickle the raw shallots slices, bird's eye chillies and chopped garlic and young mint leaves with calamansi juice and fish oil and a pint of salt for half hour. Then pour over the cooked baby octopus and mix them well. Serve this dish as an appetizer or side dish...I am sure you and family will enjoy this appetizer. I DO ! :)
