Spoonacular is a recipe search engine that sources recipes from across the web. We do our best to find recipes suitable for many diets — whether vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, dairy free, etc. — but we cannot guarantee that a recipe's ingredients are safe for your diet. Always read ingredient lists from the original source (follow the link from the "Instructions" field) in case an ingredient has been incorrectly extracted from the original source or has been labeled incorrectly in any way. Moreover, it is important that you always read the labels on every product you buy to see if the product could cause an allergic reaction or if it conflicts with your personal or religious beliefs. If you are still not sure after reading the label, contact the manufacturer.

We also attempt to estimate the cost and calculate the nutritional information for the recipes found on our site. Again, we cannot guarantee the accuracy of this information. Additionally, our nutrition visualizer that suggests that you limit sodium, sugar, etc., and get enough protein, vitamins, and minerals is not intended as medical advice. Similarly, our health tips are based on articles we have read from various sources across the web, and are not based on any medical training. The team behind spoonacular does not possess any medical qualifications and the information may be found to be incorrect or out of date based on future research.

Seared Scallop and Watermelon Salad With Sparkling Mint Vinaigrette takes roughly 45 minutes from beginning to end. One serving contains 169 calories, 4g of protein, and 6g of fat. This recipe serves 8 and costs $1.45 per serving. This recipe from Foodista has 1 fans. It works well as a reasonably priced hor d'oeuvre. It is a good option if you're following a gluten free and pescatarian diet. Summer will be even more special with this recipe. If you have pepper, watermelon, radishes, and a few other ingredients on hand, you can make it. All things considered, we decided this recipe deserves a spoonacular score of 39%. This score is rather bad. Similar recipes are Seared Scallop and Watermelon Salad with Sparkling Mint Vinaigrette, Seared Scallop Watermelon Salad with Sparkling Mint Vinaigrette, and Seared Scallop Salad With Mango And Fruit Vinaigrette.

Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Chenin Blanc are my top picks for Scallops. Chardonnay and chenin blanc are great matches for grilled or seared scallops. If your scallops are being matched with bacon or other cured meats, try a lightly chilled pinot noir. One wine you could try is Chehalem 3 Vineyard Pinot Noir. It has 4.7 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 33 dollars.

Chehalem 3 Vineyard Pinot Noir

Three estate vineyards on three unique soils make profound statements. An optimal, complementary blend even more so. Fully ripe, complex and eagerly awaited.Try pairing with salmon, tuna, duck, quail, and beef.

Instructions

  1. Using a 2- 3 inch cookie cutter, cut the watermelon into 8 rounds. Slice the radishes thin and set aside.
  2. Pat the scallops dry and remove the foot. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and cayenne pepper.
  3. Heat a large skillet to high. Drizzle a scant amount of oil in the skillet and carefully rub it around with a paper towel. When the skillet is smoking; place the scallops top down. Sear for 1 1/2 minutes until you can see carmelization around the edges.
  4. Using tongs or a metal spatula, flip the scallops. Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet and cook 1-2 more minutes.
  5. Puree the mint, vinegar, grape seed oil, agave, salt and pepper in the blender. To assemble: Place a handful of arugula on a plate. Add one watermelon round on the arugula, followed by a scallop. Arrange the radishes around and drizzle with mint vinaigrette.
  6. Makes 8 first-course servings, or 2-4 dinner servings.
