For the salad
Place calamari in a small saucepan with 3 tbsp of water and put the lid on tightly. Bring to boil over medium heat (perhaps 3 minutes). Lift lid, give a big stir, replace lid for another minute then taste a ring. If tender, immediately drain the calamari through a colander. Shake.
Combine with apple, 2/3 of the shallots, herbs and peanuts. Mix and drizzle with dressing.
Pile into salad leaves.
Gently saute the remaining sliced shallots in a trace of oil until golden. Drain on a paper towel. Scatter over the finished salad.
