Rinse squid. Boil 12 cups of water. When water is boiling add sea salt. Cook squid in boiling water for 1 to 1/2 minutes. Drain and rinse in ice cold water. Empty squid into bowl. Sprinkle in some olive oil, two pinches of celery salt, a pinch of black pepper and Adobo seasoning. Chill in the fridge.

To make sauce: Combine Olive oil, both vinegars, capers, olives, peppers, onions in a bowl. Cut lemon in half. Remove seeds, squeeze both halves into oil. Cover and allow ingredients to combine for at least 1 hour.

Add oil/sauce to squid. Stir/mix all ingredients. Cover and chill for at least 6 hours before serving, to allow ingredients to mix in.

I may or may not cook this dish. I have squid, olive oil, lemon, red onion, salt, pepper, garlic, kalamata olives and nothing else. I'm not going to do any shopping for items that are not used/eaten within a week. We are getting near our departure date and grocery shopping has been reduced. I may however cook it with what I have. I'm sure it'll taste great regardless.

I wonder who Paul picked today.
