Mauritius octopus salad is awesome!  Just the sight of it makes you feel like you are in a special tropical place.  I love octopus, and salads is one of my favorite ways to enjoy it.  Be sure to throw a wine cork in the water when you cook it, it really does work to help make the octopus tender.  If you are pressed for time you could use cooked octopus that you can typically find in the freezer section of you local Asian market.  This can be made as a starter or would also suffice as a nice light lunch.  This Mauritius style salad has a lively dressing.  Enjoy!
