Grilled Scallops with Honeydew Avocado Salsa
When it comes to pairing wine with food, grilled scallops with a glass of Chardonnay is our most elegant match.
Ingredients
• Finely grated lime zest
• 2 Tbsp. fresh lime juice
• 1 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
• 1.5 lbs. honeydew melon, rind removed and melon cut into 1/4-inch dice (2.5 cups)
• 1 avocado, diced
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 2 lbs. large sea scallops
Directions
1. Light a grill. In a large bowl, combine the lime zest and juice with the 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in the diced honeydew melon and avocado. Season the salsa with salt and black pepper.
2. Drizzle the scallops with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper. Grill over moderately high heat, turning once, until nicely charred and just cooked through (3-4 minutes per side). Transfer the scallops to plates, spoon the salsa alongside, and serve.
