Warm Scallops with Corn, Nectarines & Basil
It's getting to be that time of summer when you've satiated your craving for grilled burgers and dogs and your taste buds are looking for something new....
This scallop salad fits the bill. A wonderfully fresh dressing of lime zest, lime juice, and extra virgin olive oil marries well with the grilled scallops and nectarines. Fresh basil and evoo brightens the flavors even more. The corn and tomatoes gives the salad body and what makes it extra special is the peaches (my sub for nectarines), tomatoes, corn, and basil are Jersey Fresh! This would be a lovely lunch dish as well as dinner. We really enjoyed this one!

We enjoyed this one too. I'm thinking of other ways to use the lime dressing.
ReplyDeleteThis was a delicious salad:) Glad you enjoyed it. Have a nice weekend!
ReplyDeleteA great recipe to be able to use all the fresh veggies and fruit at this time of the year.
ReplyDeleteYours looks incredible, great job.
Your salad looks great. Isn't it wonderful (and somehow virtuous-feeling) to use so many fresh, seasonal ingredients in one dish? It was like a little celebration of summer.

Agreed - this is a perfect change up from some of the other fare that may be overplayed by this time of year. Even better with all of that fresh local fare.
ReplyDeleteThis was a perfect summer salad…and a great change from the usual summer fare! It was great to use some of those lovely Jersey fresh veggies...my favorite the corn!! We loved this one and it will be a frequent visitor to our summer table! Yours looks wonderful!!
