Portuguese Octopus Salad (Salada de Polvo)

Portuguese octopus salad is truly one of my favorite things. Those who know me, know how much I love to eat octopus. Some say it is an acquired taste but I think it is more the texture that people think they may not like. Octopus if not cooked right can be too chewy. If you use the scare technique to cook it, it is a tender bite of heaven. I think you will find it easier than you may anticipate. I find octopus frozen at my local Asian market.
