Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Avocado Mango Scallop Salad.
Step 1
Start by filling a skillet with about half an inch of water and bring it to a gentle boil.
Step 2
Once the water is bubbling, carefully add the scallops and let them cook until they’re tender and fully cooked through, which should take around 5 to 10 minutes.
Step 3
After cooking, drain the water and allow the scallops to cool to room temperature.
Step 4
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooled scallops with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt, tossing them gently to ensure they’re evenly coated.
Step 5
Next, take some fresh cilantro, removing the leaves and chopping the stalks into one-inch pieces.
Step 6
Combine the leaves and chopped stalks in a bowl, then sprinkle half of this vibrant cilantro mixture onto a serving plate to create a beautiful base.
Step 7
In another bowl, mix together diced mangoes, diced red bell pepper, and sliced olives.
Step 8
Once combined, spread this colorful mixture over the cilantro on your serving platter, adding a burst of flavor and color.
Step 9
Now, take the remaining cilantro and mix it with the scallops, then arrange this delightful combination on top of the mango mixture.
Step 10
For a finishing touch, fan out slices of creamy avocado around the edge of the plate and drizzle some fresh lemon juice over the avocado to enhance its flavor.
Step 11
This dish not only looks stunning but also brings together a medley of fresh tastes that will impress your guests and delight your palate!.
