1 red pepper |
1 large ripe tomato, seeded |
1/2 lb cooked calamari, cut in rings (boiled in salted water just until tender, about 2 minutes...as soon as they turn white) or 1 (1 lb) calamari, cleaned and sliced into rings, tentacles left whole, then cooked |
3 tablespoons olive oil |
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar |
2 -3 tablespoons chopped parsley |
salt and pepper |
Directions:
