Sesame-Scallop Salad with Ginger Vinaigrette Recipe

Sesame-Scallop Salad with Ginger Vinaigrette Recipe

  • 3/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 6 tablespoons sesame seeds
  • 16 large sea scallops
  • 2 large eggs, beaten to blend
  • 4 tablespoons canola oil
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 1 1/2 5-ounce packages mixed baby greens
  • 2 red bell peppers, cut into matchstick-size strips
  • Ginger Vinaigrette
  1. Combine 1/2 cup flour and sesame seeds in small bowl. Lightly dust scallops with remaining 1/4 cup flour. Dip each scallop into beaten eggs, then dredge in sesame seed-flour mixture; shake off excess. Heat 2 tablespoons canola oil and 1 tablespoon sesame oil in each of 2 heavy large skillets over medium-high heat. Add 8 scallops to each skillet and sauté until golden brown and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer scallops to paper towels and drain.
  2. Toss greens and red peppers with enough Ginger Vinaigrette to coat. Mound salad in center of 4 plates. Arrange 4 scallops around each salad and serve.
