Salad with grilled scallops and onions and wild garlic pesto

I promised my next post wouldn’t be about any fried foods, and I try to keep my promises, so here it is. A small tasty salad with – yet again – fresh foods and recycled ones :-). This dish contains also a pesto made by a friend of mine (I wasn’t able to get that much wild garlic to prepare it myself). I’d like to think the same salad could be prepared with shrimp tails.

Ingredients:

• scallops
• grilled onions
• mixed salad leaves
• wild garlic pesto
• olive oil
• balsamic vinegar
• vegetable stock
• salt&pepper

Method:

1. wash the mixed salad leaves and put them aside to dry;
2. heat the grillpan and cook the scallops;
3. prepare the salad sauce by mixing olive oil, balsamic vinegar and chicken stock,
4. prepare the dish by putting the grilled onions first, then the salad leaves, then the scallops and then a spoon of wild garlic pesto;
5. drizzle the salad sauce and season with maldon salt and black pepper.
