Warm baby octopus and potato salad
- 100ml extra virgin olive oil

- 1 tsp paprika
- 3 tbsp sherry vinegar
- 8 kipfler potatoes, boiled and cut into 1cm slices
- 2 handfuls rocket, washed
- 8 baby octopus, cleaned and trimmed

- Freshly ground white pepper
The cooked dressing gives this salad great depth of flavour. You could replace the octopus with calamari.
