Free Healthy Scallop BBQ Salad

Sometimes it’s good to have a change from the tradition lettuce tomato and cucumber and here is that change a plenty. I really like salads that not only taste good but look good and I also like a bit of fruit in there too.

TIP - To stop the scallops falling through the grill and onto the coals, use a Teflon® barbecue mat.

Ingredients:-

• 450g or 1lb fresh scallops
• Fresh salad leaves (your choice)
• 2 Oranges peeled and sliced
• 110g or 4 oz strawberries
• 2 kiwi fruit peeled and sliced
• 2 fennel bulbs sliced
• salt and freshly ground black pepper

For the Vinaigrette

• 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
• Juice of half a lemon

Method:-

Brush the barbecue mat with a little oil, place the fennel on the grill and brush with the vinaigrette. Grill for about 8 – 10 minutes until the fennel is slightly translucent but take care not to burn it.

While the fennel is cooking you can build up the salad starting with the salad leaves and then the fruit to make a lovely colorful base. Now place the scallops on the grill brush with vinaigrette, sprinkle on a little salt and pepper rand grill gently for 4 or 5 minutes turning them once. Add the fennel wedges to the salad foundation, place the cooked scallops on top and drizzle with more vinaigrette.

If this wasn’t such a healthy scallop BBQ salad I’d be tempted by an ice cold glass of Chablis or how about a spritzer to alleviate the guilt?
