Marinade
2 1/2 lemons, squeezed
1 grapefruit, squeezed
1 cup dry white wine (such as Chardonnay)
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 shallot, minced
2 tablespoons flat leaf parsley, finely chopped
2 teaspoons fennel fronds, finely chopped
1 teaspoon mint, finely chopped
1 cup olive oil
Squid Salad
1 pound Squid, equal parts bodies and tentacles, cleaned
2 grapefruits, segmented
1/2 fennel bulb, shaved
1/4 cup canola oil
Salt and Pepper, To Taste
1 cup baby arugula

1
Strain juice from grapefruit and lemon and mix with white wine and red pepper flakes. Place in a sauce pan and reduce mixture by 1/2. Cool down.
2
Add wine mixture to shallots and herbs. Emulsify in oil.
3
Turn on a grill to medium high heat. Cut bodies of squid into rings and leave tentacles whole. Season squid with salt and pepper and toss in canola oil. Grill for 2 minutes on each side, or until squid has just cooked. Be careful not to leave it on the grill for too long or the squid will turn rubbery. Cool down.
4
Place grilled squid in marinade, refrigerate, and let sit for 3 to 4 hours, or overnight.
5
When ready to eat, mix marinated squid, grapefruit segments, arugula, and fennel. Use a little of the marinade to dress the salad. Season salad with salt and pepper if needed.
