Grilled Squid Salad (Low-Calorie)
Grilled squid rings tossed with lime juice, fish sauce, chili and mint over cucumber, shallot and cherry tomatoes. Char comes from a hot dry grill rather than oil, keeping the dressing sharp and citrus-forward. Served cold as a bright, low-calorie Thai salad with no added sugar or fried elements.

Prep
Rinse the squid under cold water, score a shallow crosshatch on the inside of each body, and slice into 1.5-inch pieces; pat dry with paper towels.
2
Grill
Heat a dry grill to high and grill the squid for 2 minutes per side until it curls, turns opaque, and shows light char marks.
3
Toss
Whisk together fish sauce, lime juice, sugar, and sliced chili. Toss cucumber, tomatoes, shallot, mint, cilantro, and lemongrass with dressing, then add warm squid gently.
4
Plate
Transfer the salad to a plate and serve immediately while the squid is still warm.
