I love the combination of flavors in this salad. The octopus is tender and flavorful, the capers add a nice briny flavor, and the olives add a touch of sweetness. The dressing is also very good.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover octopus. I had some grilled octopus from a previous meal, and this salad was the perfect way to use it up. The dressing is simple but flavorful, and the salad is very easy to assemble.
