Instructions

Clean the octopus thoroughly and cook it for about 30 minutes in water and vinegar, keeping the temperature below boiling point; check the consistency with a knife and when it is soft, and therefore cooked, switch off the heat, put a lid on the pan and leave it to stand for a least an hour.

In the meantime, prepare the salad ingredients. Clean the fennel bulbs and carrots and cut them into thin strips, transfer to a large bowl and add the olives, the capers, the oregano and the octopus, cut into pieces when it has cooled to just lukewarm.

Dribble in plenty of lemon-flavoured extra virgin olive oil and serve in jars with airtight tops, so it will be easier to take them on excursions.
