Step 1:

How do you make a salad with squid and cheese? Get the ingredients ready. You can use squid either raw or already cooked and canned. The cheese can be anything — hard, semi-hard, even processed — as long as it's tasty.
Step 2:

Thaw the squid, peel off the membrane, and clean it out, removing the insides and the clear quill. Rinse them well under running water.
Step 3:

Boil the squid. How do you boil squid? Drop the cleaned squid into salted boiling water. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes. No longer!!! Otherwise the squid turns rubbery and completely tasteless.
Step 4:

Take the cooked squid out of the water and let it cool. Cut into strips.
Step 5:

Grate the cheese on the coarse or medium side.
Step 6:

Boil the eggs. How do you hard-boil eggs? Put them in cold water and set them to cook over low heat. Cook the eggs for 9 minutes after the water boils, then cover with cold water and cool. The sudden temperature change makes them peel more easily. Cool and peel them. Cut into small cubes.
Step 7:

Combine the squid, eggs, and cheese in a salad bowl.
Step 8:

Dress everything with mayonnaise.
Step 9:

Mix everything well. Chill the salad in the fridge for 20 to 30 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

The iron and potassium in squid support normal heart function. On top of that, white squid meat contains no cholesterol at all. Iodine is essential for keeping the thyroid and the endocrine system as a whole healthy. The selenium in squid is especially beneficial: it helps flush heavy-metal salts from the body. One clear benefit of squid is that, thanks to its components, it can effectively influence blood cholesterol levels (when they're too high), which is good protection against heart and vascular disease. Many of the beneficial substances in squid meat make blood vessels more elastic, increasing their strength and ability to constrict. Squid is also good in that the proteins in shrimp and squid support and improve the development of muscle tissue. These properties, along with squid's high nutritional value, make this meat an excellent food for people aiming to build muscle. Its nutritional value also has an excellent effect on the digestive system. Shrimp and squid are easily absorbed by the body without leaving a heavy feeling in the stomach. Doctors consider squid's ability to stimulate mental activity and improve memory to be one of its essential benefits.
It's better to make mayonnaise yourself — tastier and healthier. See the interesting homemade mayonnaise recipes here. You can also use not just mayonnaise as a dressing, but sour cream or plain yogurt — on their own or mixed with mayonnaise in any proportion you like; that cuts the dish's calories.
