  1. Wash the squid tubes and pat them dry with kitchen towel. Cut the tubes open and score with a knife to make diamond patterns. Slice into squares. Set aside with the tentacles.

  3. Mist a frying pan or griddle pan with cooking spray and heat until hot. Add the peppers and fry, turning, for 3–4 minutes or until lightly charred and cooked through.
  4. Arrange the rocket and peppers on 2 plates. Add the squid pieces and tentacles to the pan and fry, turning, for 3–4 minutes. Top the salad with the cooked squid. Drizzle with the dressing and serve immediately.
