Scallops or chicken over garden salad

Serves 18 min485 kcal

Seared scallops (or sliced chicken) over a garden salad.

Ingredients
  • Sea scallops — 4¼ oz (6 (or ~4¼ oz leftover chicken))
  • Lettuce — 3 cups mixed leaves
  • Cucumber — 5¼ oz (½)
  • Radishes — 2½ oz (4)
  • Garlic-infused olive oil — 2 Tbsp
  • Lemon
  • Pumpkin seeds — 1 Tbsp
  • Sea salt
Method
  1. Build and dress the salad with oil, lemon and salt.
  2. Sear dry scallops 1.5–2 minutes a side (or slice cold chicken).
  3. Top the salad; add pumpkin seeds.
Notes

If using leftover chicken, slice it cold — the cool meat against the dressing reads as a deliberate temperature contrast rather than a sad reheat.
