olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

capers

💰Cheaper: green olives

Green olives provide a similar briny flavor at a lower cost.

balsamic vinegar

💰Cheaper: red wine vinegar

Red wine vinegar is a cost-effective substitute with a tangy taste.

cherry tomatoes

💰Cheaper: regular tomatoes

Regular tomatoes are less expensive and can be diced for similar use.

Boil water in a large pot and add salt.

Add the octopus to the boiling water and cook until tender, about 30-40 minutes.

Remove the octopus from the pot and let it cool.

Once cooled, chop the octopus into bite-sized pieces.

In a large bowl, combine chopped octopus, parsley, and arugula.

Add diced cherry tomatoes, sliced red onion, and capers to the bowl.

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.

Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.

Let the salad rest for 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

Serve chilled or at room temperature, garnished with additional parsley.
