Ingredients
  • 1 pound calamari rings
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 Tbsp sriracha (or hot sauce of choice)
  • 1 cup cornstarch
  • kosher salt, pepper
  • vegetable oil (enough to fill a small skillet 1 inch deep)
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing
  • 1/2 cup sweet chili sauce
  • 6 cups lettuce of choice (I used field green mix)
  • 3 oz crumbled feta cheese
Instructions

  1. Put the calamari rings in a bowl, add the buttermilk and sriracha, mix together. Put the cornstarch, kosher salt, and pepper in a separate bowl and mix together.

  2. Pour enough vegetable oil in a skillet about 1 inch deep. Set it over medium heat for about 4 to 5 minutes, or until the oil reaches 350 degrees.

  3. Coat a few calamari rings with the cornstarch and gently place in the oil for 2 to 3 minutes. Remove and place them on a plate lined with paper towels. Repeat with remaining calamari.

  4. Mix together the sweet chili sauce and ranch for the salad dressing.

  5. Divide the lettuce between 4 plates or bowls, top each with the feta cheese and calamari. Serve with the sweet chili ranch dressing.
