On a fine-mesh grill, arrange squid in one layer and place over coals; grill, turning once, and remove as soon as squid turn opaque. Cool to room temperature. Alternatively, place squid on baking sheet and broil, turning once, 2 minutes per side or until opaque and just cooked through. Let cool to room temperature.

In a large salad bowl combine squid with minced garlic, pine nuts and anchovy dressing. Toss with sun-dried tomatoes, capers and basil. Serve on a bed of green lettuce with garlicky grilled bread.
