l.a.a.a.cuisine

finally,

we got a grill! and we cooked something that's worth posting here. this salad is summery and very tasty, especially if you are obsessed with scallops (like moi). if you don't like scallops, i have a feeling it would also work with shrimp, or even chicken.

caribbean grilled scallop salad from cooking light

ingredients

12 large sea scallops

2 teaspooons fish rub (we used this stuff i bought in seattle called 'blackened red fish rub'; if you want to borrow some, come on over!)

cooking spray (or actually we used olive oil)

5 slices fresh pineapple

4 cups salad greens (or more, or less, whatever)

1/3 cup diced peeled avocado (i just used a whole one)

2 tablespoons mango chutney

2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

2 tablespoons olive oil

instructions

1. preheat grill to high heat

2. pat scallops dry with paper towel and sprinkle with 1.5 teaspoons fish rub. brush with olive oil or spray with cooking spray.

3. place scallops on grill rack; grill 3 minutes per side or until done (ours took a little longer); then set aside.

4. grill pineapple 2 minutes per side, remove from grill, and chop

5. combine greens, lettuce, pineapple, and avocado in large bowl

6. combine chutney, lime juice, olive oil, and remaining fish rub in a small bowl and add this dressing to the salad; toss.

7. divide salad between plates and arrange 3 scallops (um, or 6 or 7, if you're gluttonous like we are) over each salad

yield: for us -- 2 servings of scallops, 4 servings of salad (we made turkey sandwiches with the leftover salad stuff, and they were good!).
