- Cook octopus in a pressure cooker for about 20 minutes. (You do not need to add liquid, as the octopus releases its own juices.)
- Meanwhile, prepare dressing: In a small bowl beat olive oil with lemon juice, garlic, parsley, salt and pepper.
- Cut cooked octopus into small pieces and place in a large bowl. Pour dressing over octopus and toss together.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour; serve chilled.
