Grilled Scallops with Honeydew-Avocado Salsa

Grilled Scallops with Honeydew-Avocado Salsa Recipe

To go with grilled scallops, Marcia Kiesel creates her own version of salsa verde by combining sweet honeydew and buttery avocado in a fruit salsa (yes, avocado is a fruit). The salsa is what wine geeks call "round in flavor," meaning it's not too tart or tangy, and it would be excellent with an equally "round" oaked California Chardonnay.

Seared Scallops with Prosciutto Bits Recipe

A bottled Italian dressing based on oil, vinegar, and spices makes a fine marinade for many kinds of seafood and poultry. Thaw frozen scallops overnight in the refrigerator. If you are really in a hurry, run cold water (not warm or hot) over them while they are in a bowl in the sink.
