This  Korean salad not only nutritious, appetizing, refreshing,  scrumptious but healthy, a sure keeper, do book mark and  try it out!  You will fall in Love with this  salad!  You may omit the squid for a vegetarian salad!

April is almost come to an end.  Time is running short, as I will be out of town and be back only 30/4 night!   Stress.....  There are 2 blog events which I would like to submit my post to join in the fun.  One  being the  Asian Food Fest (AFF) - Korean cuisine, and the other Little Thumbs Up with the theme ' Oranges' for the month of April 2014. 

This fantastic healthy Korean Salad was taught by Chef Madam Shin of Korean Tourism Organization, Kuala Lumpur during one of the cooking  demonstration.   And again no recipe is given, participants have to dot down the ingredients and method as our beloved Chef Madam Shin in action.  

My daughter said she can finished the whole dish all by herself and is super yumz!

Recipe adapted by Madam Shin of KTO, KL with some changes.

Clean the squid and slice (with cutting through to create patten) diagonally on the inside of the squid.

 Cook the squid in boiling water, and it will curled.

 Lastly, remember to cut the orange into pieces which I forgot to take photos!

Assemble the ingredients in the bowl.  Add in the dressing just before serving!
