Avocado, Mango, and Scallop Salad Recipe

  • water as needed
  • 8 large bay scallops
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • salt to taste (optional)
  • 12 sprigs fresh cilantro
  • 2 mangoes – peeled, seeded, and diced
  • 1 red bell pepper – stemmed, seeded, and diced

  3. Combine mangos, red bell pepper, and olives in a bowl; spread over the cilantro on the serving platter.
  4. Mix remaining cilantro with scallops and arrange on top of the mango mixture. Fan the avocado slices around the outside of the serving plate. Spoon lemon juice over avocado slices.
