Octopus and Potato Salad

The octopus and potato salad

I called it an appetizer salad but, if you are only in a couple of people, this quantity is also ideal for a second cold.
It is a very tasty dish and at the same time very simple to prepare: the ingredients are few and easy to find. (See note)

But it is also ideal, if kept cool, for a picnic with lunch in tow (I dare not say packed ...).
I also put it on the table several times during stand-up lunch parties: it went like hot cakes.

Immerse the octopus in boiling salted water flavored with juniper berries, peppercorns and bay leaves. Cook for about twenty minutes (the tip of the knife will penetrate quite easily even in the thickest part of the tentacles).
Leave it to cool completely in its cooking water and only then remove its eyes and beak: it will be easier.

Season with olive oil and parsley and, wanting to serve with pure cold potatoes, even with these.
