Grilled Scallop Salad Recipe
  • Prep: 20 min. + marinating Grill: 15 min.
  • Yield: 4 Servings
20 15 35

Ingredients

  • 24 asparagus spears, trimmed
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 24 sea scallops
  • 2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
  • 2 cups torn red leaf lettuce
  • 2 cups torn Bibb lettuce or Boston lettuce
  • 1/4 cup crumbled cooked bacon
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts, toasted
  • 2 tablespoons grated Romano cheese
  • 1/2 cup balsamic vinaigrette salad dressing

Directions

  • In a large saucepan, bring 6 cups water to a boil. Add asparagus; cover and boil for 3 minutes. Drain and immediately place asparagus in ice water. Drain and pat dry; set aside. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine oil and soy sauce; add scallops. Seal bag and turn to coat. Let stand for 10 minutes.
  • Drain and discard marinade. Using long-handled tongs, moisten a paper towel with cooking oil and lightly coat the grill rack. Grill scallops, uncovered, over medium heat for 7-8 minutes on each side or until the scallops are firm and opaque.
  • Arrange mushrooms on a grill wok or basket. Grill, uncovered, over medium heat for 10-15 minutes or until tender, stirring frequently.
  • Arrange lettuce on four serving plates. Top with asparagus, scallops, mushrooms, bacon, walnuts and cheese. Drizzle with dressing. Yield: 4 servings.

    Editor's Note: If you do not have a grill wok or basket, use a disposable foil pan. Poke holes in the bottom of the pan with a meat fork to allow liquid to drain.
