Submerge the octopus and cook for about 40 minutes per 2.2 lb (1 kg), until tender. Drain the octopus and cut it, leaving the tentacles whole. Marinate with minced garlic, chopped parsley, lemon zest, lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, salt, pepper, and red onion for 30 minutes. Wash and dry the arugula. Dice the cucumber and tomato. Peel the red bell pepper raw, clean it, slice into strips, and sauté in a skillet with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper for 3–5 minutes over high heat, until properly cooked and lightly browned on the outside. Grill the octopus for about 3–4 minutes per side, until grill marks form and it is heated through. In the bowl with the octopus marinade, add the arugula, cucumber, tomato, bell pepper, chickpeas, and onion. Toss well and serve. Arrange the grilled octopus on a serving platter alongside the fresh salad. Enjoy your meal!
