START WITH THE SQUID
In a bowl, combine the rub and a drizzle of oil. Add the squid and toss until fully coated. Set aside to marinate for at least 10 minutes. In a separate bowl, combine the juice of 1 Lime wedge, 15ml of water, 5ml of a sweetener of choice, and seasoning. Add the sliced onion and set aside to pickle.
TOASTY SEEDS
Place the Sunflower Seeds in a pan over medium heat. Toast for 2-4 minutes until lightly browned, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan and set aside to cool.
HAVO SOME AVO
Halve the Avocado and remove the pip. Peel off the skin, keeping the flesh intact. Thinly slice. Place ½ the sliced avocado in a blender along with the Lime zest, the juice of 1 lime wedge, and seasoning. Add water in 30ml increments and pulse until drizzling consistency.
ADD THE COLOUR
In a salad bowl, combine the rinsed Black Beans, the shredded Salad Leaves, the rinsed Green Leaves, the pepper strips, the Cucumber half-moons, and the pickled Red Onion (to taste).
THE STAR OF THE SHOW
Return the pan to a high heat. Alternatively, use a griddle pan if you have one. When hot, add the marinated squid and fry for 3-4 minutes until charred and cooked through, shifting occasionally.
LOAD UP YOUR PLATE
Pile up the loaded salad. Top with the remaining Avocado slices and the grilled squid. Drizzle over the creamy avocado dressing. Sprinkle over the sliced chilli (to taste) and the toasted Sunflower Seeds. Serve with any remaining Lime wedges. Fresh and fast, Chef!
