Worthy of a Special Occasion

Add grilled sea scallops to a bed of Boston lettuce and fresh fruit and toss with a zesty homemade dressing for a dinner salad that's ready in about 15 minutes.

Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 12  large sea scallops (about 1 1/2 pounds)
  • 2  teaspoons  fish rub, divided (such as Emeril's)
  • Cooking spray
  • 5  (1/2-inch) slices fresh pineapple
  • 4  cups  gourmet salad greens or mixed salad greens
  • 4  cups  torn Boston lettuce (about 2 small heads)
  • 1/3  cup  diced peeled avocado
  • 2  tablespoons  mango chutney
  • 2  tablespoons  fresh lime juice
  • 2  teaspoons  olive oil

Preparation

Prepare grill to high heat.

Pat scallops dry with a paper towel. Sprinkle 1 1/2 teaspoons fish rub evenly over scallops. Coat scallops with cooking spray. Place scallops on grill rack; grill 3 minutes on each side or until done. Remove scallops. Add pineapple to grill rack; grill 2 minutes on each side. Remove pineapple from grill; chop pineapple.

Combine salad greens, lettuce, pineapple, and avocado in a large bowl.

Chop large pieces of chutney. Combine chutney, lime juice, olive oil, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon fish rub in a small bowl. Add dressing to salad, and toss well. Place 1 1/2 cups salad into each of 4 bowls. Arrange 3 scallops over each salad.

My husband was completely bowled over by this. I found that I reordered how I put the meal together, grilling the scallops last. I had it all put together, then added the scallops at the table.07/14/08

This salad was so easy to make. I could not find mango chutney at the grocery store, so instead I grilled some mango along with the scallops and then put the grilled mango along with all the other dressing ingredients into a small food processor. My husband and I both loved the dish and I was able to save the dressing for a light chicken salad for the following day.07/02/08
