  3. Toss the potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet.
  4. Roast for 25-30 minutes, or until tender and slightly crispy. Crumble them slightly after roasting.

Vinaigrette

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, minced garlic, and the remaining olive oil.
  2. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Assembly

  1. In a large bowl, combine the cooked octopus pieces, crumbled roasted potatoes, halved cherry tomatoes, and pitted black olives.
  2. Add the chopped fresh parsley.
  3. Drizzle the lemon vinaigrette over the salad.
  4. Gently toss everything together to combine.
  5. Serve immediately.

Tips

  • For extra tender octopus, consider freezing it before cooking, as this helps break down its fibers.
  • Vary the roasting time for potatoes based on their size; aim for fork-tender with slightly crisp edges.
  • Serve this deconstructed salad slightly warm or at room temperature for the best flavor experience.
