    1 Cut squid tubes open. Score inside using a criss-cross pattern, being careful not to cut right through. Cut each opened tube into 4–5cm pieces.

    2 In a large salad bowl combine watercress, rocket, cucumber, orange, cannellini beans and avocado.

    3 Spray a grill plate or frying pan with oil and place over high heat. Cook squid, in batches, for 2 minutes or until browned and just cooked through.

    4 Meanwhile, place all dressing ingredients in a jar and shake well to combine.

    5 Add cooked squid and dressing to salad bowl. Toss gently to combine. Serve with couscous.
