I made this for lunch and surprised myself with how good it was and how fancypants it looked. I didn’t have much on hand and had no plan when I started out, but I did have some left over mango salsa (as a topping for a seared tuna with poppyseed crust a few days ago) and I did have some scallops. I am in love with elegant salads!
Here is a little video on how to get beautiful seared scallops with a lovely brown crust.
Seared Scallop Salad with Bacon Crisps and Mango Salsa
Ingredients

- 2 Tablespoons of Mango Salsa (or more if you want) per person

- 1 spring onion, chopped
- Cilantro, chopped (about a handful or 1/4 cup)
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

- Juice of one lime
For the Salsa
Instructions
- Pat your scallops dry and lightly sprinkle with salt before searing. Sear your scallops in the butter or ghee until golden brown (see video above for technique).
- Place the scallops on top of a plate of salad greens.
- Sprinkle the crispy bacon crumbles over the top.
- Mix all of the dressing ingredients together and then spoon it over the top.
