Scallop and Potato Salad image

Easy yet impressive seafood salad, adapted from a Bon Appetit recipe. I make the dressing and boil the potatoes the night before, then complete the recipe the next day just before serving. Preparation time does not include cooling time. I generally make with fresh chives from my herb garden in the summer and with my seafood seasoning mixture in the winter.

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 medium red potatoes
2 tablespoons oil
1 lb sea scallops, halved horizontally or 1 lb bay scallop
0.5 (12 ounce) bag mixed baby greens
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon prepared hot mustard
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon heavy cream
1 teaspoon seafood seasoning, mixture (Recipe #99882) or 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • For best results, make dressing a few hours ahead of time to let flavors blend: whisk together vinegar through hot mustard; whisk in mayonnaise and cream; mix in chives or seafood seasoning; season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • In large saucepan of boiling salted water, cook potatoes approximately 12 minutes until just tender; drain potatoes and let cool. Cut each potato crosswise into 4 slices.
  • In large skillet over high heat, sauté potatoes in 2 tablespoons oil approximately 2 minutes until golden; transfer to plate with a slotted spoon.
  • In same skillet, sauté scallops approximately 1 minute per side until just cooked through.
  • In a large bowl, toss mixed greens with enough vinaigrette to coat; transfer to plates. Arrange scallops and potatoes on top of greens and drizzle rest of vinaigrette over scallops and potatoes.
