fire up your grill. make a dressing of olive oil, salt, pepper, lemon juice, minced garlic and fresh oregano. reserve half of this dressing, slice your octopus across 1/2" thick, and marinate with the remaining half of the dressing. peel, halve and core some apples, sprinkle them with lemon juice and set aside. get some salad greens (I prefer arugula with octopus), tomatoes, paper-thin red onions, or whatever else you want to add to the salad, season with salt and pepper and set aside.
throw your apples on the grill. when the first sides of the apples have start to caramelize, turn them, wait a few minutes then add your octopus. cook until they're a couple shades away from being solid white, then remove everything and go back to your salad. lightly dress the salad, top with grilled apple and octopus and a little more of that dressing on top. serve with hummus and pita bread
