2500th Recipe
Today I complete the journey I began 10 1/2 years ago. The blog has been a great investment of my time which I looked forward to sharing with so many unknown readers. It is my hope you have truly enjoyed your visit to the blog. This is my final recipe I will share and do hope you will return to search a favorite. Donna
Seared Scallop Salad with Orange and Bacon
Ingredients:
3 oranges
¼ cup olive oil
1 tbsp white wine vinegar
1 tsp maple syrup
½ tsp minced garlic
Salt and black pepper to taste
4 slices bacon, finely chopped
12 large dry-packed scallops, patted dry
8 cups washed and dried salad greens
Grate 1 tsp zest and squeeze 2 tbsp juice from 1 orange. Cut peel and white pith from remaining oranges and separate into segments.
In a small bowl, whisk together orange zest and juice, oil, vinegar, maple syrup, garlic and salt and pepper to taste.
In a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, cook bacon until crisp, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
Add scallops to skillet. Cook, without moving them, until seared, about 2 minutes. Turn scallops and cook until seared, 1 to 2 minutes.
In a large bowl, toss salad greens and orange segments with just enough dressing to coat them. Divide salad among 4 plates. Top each salad with scallops. Drizzle scallops with any remaining dressing. Sprinkle salads with bacon.
Serves 4
