Now I love to serve this as a light appetizer or as a starter salad. This is amazing served with fresh mango, red pepper and served over fresh arugula. Served with a baquette toasted with melted gooey havarti cheese. Or you can really use your favorite. Use what you have at hand. This is just a nice change from the every day lettuce, tomato, onion, etc ... SALAD. Besides what a impact for a dinner party or a nice dinner for a friend or your significant other. Ingredients:
1 lb sea scallops |
1/2 cup citrus juice, but if you only have 1 1 lemon and 1 lime. so inexpensive and so easy, it is worth the flavor (i like to use 1/3 lemon, 1/3 lime and 1/3 orange) or 2 that will work. the combination really adds a good flavor and fresh really is the only way to go. ju oranges, 1 lemon and 1 lime. so inexpensive and so easy, it is worth the flavor |
1 teaspoon kosher salt |
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (to taste) |
1 tablespoon olive oil, to finish off the dish |
1 mango, cut in thin slices |
1 small red onion, cut in half and then very thin sliced |
1/2 cup thin sliced red pepper |
1 small avocado, chopped |
5 ounces arugula (1 bag of arugula. dole or any name brand will work) |
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper |
1 baguette, thin sliced |
1 slice havarti cheese |
Directions:
1. Marinade - Slice the mango and onion and add them to a small baking dish. Then add the citrus juice, red pepper flakes and toss lightly to coat. Cover with plastic wrap for 20-30 minutes.
2. Scallops - Slice the scallops into thin slices and add to the citrus marinade for another 5 minutes.
3. Salad - Add the thin red pepper and avacado to the arugula and toss. Plate the salad on a plate and top with the cerviche. Pour the extra marinade over the greens along with a drizzle of olive oil and fresh ground black pepper. Now that is a salad!
4. Grill or bake some baguette slices and top with a slice of havarti cheese and toast until melted. Serve with the cerviche salad.
