Name: Grilled Scallop Salad With Citrus Vinaigrette
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced; 1 pound fresh bay scallops; 1 tablespoon olive oil; 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt; 1/4 teaspoon black pepper; 8 (6-inch) wooden skewers, soaked in water 30 minutes or more; 5 ounces red-leaf, lollo rosso, or butter lettuce; 1/3 cup mixed thinly sliced radishes; Sea salt flakes; 1 orange or tangerine, peeled and sectioned

Servings: persons

1
Preheat grill to medium-high (about 450u00b0F). Soak sliced onion in ice water to cover for 10 minutes; drain well.
2
Place scallops, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a large bowl, and toss until scallops are evenly coated.
3
Thread scallops onto the skewers (5 or 6 scallops per skewer). Grill the scallops until grill marks appear, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes on each side. (Overcooking the scallops will make them tough and rubbery.) Transfer skewers to a platter, and drizzle with 1/4 cup of the Citrus Vinaigrette.
4
Toss together the lettuce, radishes, red onion, and remaining 1/4 cup Citrus Vinaigrette in a large bowl. Divide the salad among four plates, and top each salad with two skewers of the grilled scallops. Sprinkle with sea salt flakes, and serve with orange segments.
