Calamari-Mango Salad

Ingredients

• 1 pound fresh or frozen squid, thawed and drained
• 2 ripe mangoes, diced
• 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
• 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 shallot, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• Toasted baguette slices

Preparation

1. Cut squid tubes into rings. Blanch in boiling water to cover 30 seconds or until opaque. (Water doesn't have to return to a rolling boil.) Don't overcook or squid will become tough. Plunge in ice water to chill. Drain.
2. Combine squid, mangoes, and lime juice in a small bowl.
3. Whisk together mustard, vinegar, and olive oil. Stir in cilantro and next 3 ingredients. Fold in squid mixture.
4. Cover and chill until ready to serve. Top baguette slices with salad, using a slotted spoon.
