In a bowl toss squid with salt, chopped garlic and 3 tablespoons of the olive oil; season with pepper. Marinate 1 hour, refrigerated.
In food processor combine anchovies and their oil with lemon juice until pureed. With motor running, slowly stream in remaining ½ cup olive oil.
Thin dressing with 2 tablespoons cold water. Dressing should be smooth and consistency of cream. If it is too thick, thin with a little more cold water.
Heat a charcoal grill until very hot, or alternatively, preheat broiler. 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.
