Description
Scallops don't always have to be served over pasta. Try them over a light salad. And if peaches are out of season, grilled pineapple works, too.

Hyvee Culinary Expert Tip
Chiffonade means to shred or finely cut vegetables or herbs. To chiffonade, stack the basil leaves and tightly roll into a cylinder. Make thin slices to create ribbons. Don’t cut the basil too far ahead or it will blacken. This technique can be used for mint or any other leafy herb.Prepare the salad: On a preheated charcoal or gas grill, grill peaches 3 to 4 minutes or until slightly soft and grill marks appear.
Season scallops with salt and pepper and grill about 2 minutes per side.
Slice the peaches while the scallops cook.
To serve the salad, toss greens and carrots together and place on a serving platter.
Top with desired amount of vinaigrette, grilled sea scallops, and sliced peaches.
Drizzle with additional vinaigrette and garnish with fresh basil leaves, if desired.
