Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine garlic, lemon zest and juice, black pepper and olive oil. Whisk to combine. Add squid and toss to combine. Set in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes to marinate.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine jalapeño, cilantro, red onion, bell pepper, grapefruit, avocado, lime juice and olive oil. Set aside.
  3. Cut bread crosswise into 1" wide slices. Brush both sides of bread lightly with olive oil. Set aside.
  4. Heat grill to a medium heat - about 375 degrees. Grill bread for 1-2 minutes on each side, until toasted and lightly browned. Transfer to a cutting board.
  5. Gently rub toasts on one side with garlic. Discard any remaining garlic.
  6. Place whole squid tubes and tentacles (if you have them) on the grill for about 1-2 minutes per side, turning them once. (Squid will immediately shrink up.) Transfer squid to a cutting board.
  7. Slice the squid tubes crosswise into 1/4" rings.
  8. Add squid to the salad and toss to combine.
  9. Arrange bread on a platter and top each slice with a large spoonful of the calamari mixture. Serve immediately.
