Octopus Salad

in Dubrovnik

Octopus salad is one of the cleanest ways Dubrovnik shows off Adriatic seafood: tender octopus dressed simply with olive oil, lemon, parsley, and often a little onion or potato. It reads more coastal and refreshing than heavy, especially in warm weather.

Did you know?

Across the Croatian coast, octopus salad is often served as a cold starter, letting the quality of the seafood and olive oil do most of the work.
