I like a squid or octopus salad. Cut your favorite cephalopod into bite
size pieces. For squid, just blanch in broth. For octopus, simmer until
tender. Then mix with chopped red onions, garlic, chopped parsley,
capers (the large ones), good olive oil, and lemon juice. Let sit for an
hour or two before serving. It's good served with crusty bread. This is
from the Dalmatian coast.

Squid salad was one of my initial thoughts, but then I found out that one of
the guests is not crazy about squid. I might do it anyway; it's not like
that person won't have plenty of other things to eat.
