Grilled Octopus Salad with Marinated Figs and Ginger-Lime Dressing

Inspired by restaurant in the center of Paris in 2009. The chef prepared this dish right in front of our table. It’s amazing how quickly all the ingredients on his tray turned into one unforgettable appetizer. Serve immediately while warm.
