Grilled Scallop Salad Review!

Grilled Scallop Salad

I really wanted to love this salad. I made it and didn't care at all for the mint in it. I decided to give it another try and made it without
the mint. The best part was the scallops, which


were delicious, the avocado, and the watermelon. I just didn't care for the mixture of the cucumber and the sauce that goes over it. I will not be making this one again. 

Ingredients

Salt and pepper scallops

(I used hardly any salt)

Whisk lime juice, olive oil and remaining salt together

Grill cucumber and scallops

Mix lettuce, cucumber, an melon together

Pour sauce over and mix well

Add scallops 

and avocado

Enjoy!

Recipe:

            1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided

            3/8 teaspoon salt, divided

            12 large sea scallops (about 1 1/2 pounds)

            1 English cucumber, halved lengthwise

            Cooking spray

            2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

            2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil

            4 cups torn romaine lettuce

            3 cups (1-inch) cubed seedless watermelon

            1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, torn

            1/2 peeled avocado, cut into 8 slices

Preparation

.                 1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat.

.                 2. Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon pepper and 1/4 teaspoon salt over scallops and cucumber. Arrange in a single layer on a grill rack coated with cooking spray. Grill 3 minutes on each side or until scallops are done and cucumber is well marked. Remove from heat; cut cucumber into 1/4-inch slices.

.                 3. Combine remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt, juice, and oil in a large bowl; stir with a whisk. Add cucumber, lettuce, watermelon, and mint; toss gently to coat. Divide the watermelon mixture evenly among 4 plates. Top each serving with 3 scallops and 2 avocado slices. Sprinkle evenly with remaining 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper.

Sustainable Choice: All scallops, whether farmed, diver-caught, or wild-caught, are great options.

Enjoy!
