| Warm Scallop Salad Around My French Table Dorie Greenspan |
I didn't really get the 'salad' aspect of this recipe so I decided to turn it into a salad. Instead of plating the components side by side I mixed them together with the scallops on top. We loved the lime dressing with the corn and nectarines. The tomatoes were lost in the shuffle.
This recipe is a keeper except for the fact the scallops were $24.99 a pound! I have to admit they were absolutely delicious and worth every penny! Fresh and sweet! And I live in Oklahoma! Thank you Whole Foods:)
The downside? The next day my house still smells like scallops! Not so nice today.
Check out all the French Friday posts!
Happy birthday Lola! Love the family shot - it is beautiful. Your scallops turned out great.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday!! Your salad looks wonderful. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday Guyla! Great pictures. It´s great that you enjoy your life in spite of your concerns about getting older, which is annoying! Beautiful scallop salad.
ReplyDeleteThose scallops were a bit pricey, but so good! Lovely salad.
ReplyDeleteHappy, happy birthday. Love the picture with the family :-)
Happy Birthday nice to be able to celebrate it at the beach. I mixed everything together too. It tasted just fine. Scallops are definitely cheaper on the East Coast. I buy them frozen because they are frozen when they are caught anyway. They tend to cost less this way too.
ReplyDeleteI like 60 year old Guyla just the way she is!!
ReplyDeleteHi! Beautiful photo of your birthday at the beach, and your scallop salad. I'm kinda happy to hear that the tomatoes "got lost in the shuffle" because that is one thing that is hard to find around here (Montana)...tomatoes...almost can bring me to tears, but -- ONWARD! There are more important things in life that easy access to beautiful tomatoes. :)
ReplyDeleteKeep smiling. Happy birthday!
Happy Birthday, Guyla! What a gorgeous photo of your family! I think your salad looks great, too!
ReplyDeletethe scallops are certainly worth it but we also liked the salad without them :) great job!
ReplyDeleteGuyla, you look gorgeous and you inspire me to look forward to being 60! If I could raise a beautiful family like yours, I'd say my life has turned out better than I'd expected, so I hope you won't have any more regrets and just enjoy life from now on :). Your salad looks stunning, worth every cent you paid for the scallops. Although if you're trying to save a bit, eggplant scallops aren't too bad either...haha! Happy birthday <3
ReplyDeleteHappy, Happy Birthday!! What a lovely way to spend your day. Your scallop salad looks devine! My husband l o v e s scallops. I should try this.
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful family photo! Happy birthday! I'm with you on the price of scallops. I would be eating them weekly were it not for that price. This is why I eat scallops when its just me. lol...
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! That's a lovely family photo. Your salad looks just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday! My house still smelled like scallops the next day also. Maybe I will try them on the grill next time, but you are right, they are anexpensi ve treat.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! Such a beautiful family photo on the beach;-) Lovely sea scallop salad-I really like the way you put all the components together and I love sea scallops too, except for the price;-)
ReplyDeleteI look at the photo of your family at the beach and I'm jealous. I hope to have such a beautiful family when I'm 60. Best wishes for a great 60th year! I agree this salad had too many components (I probably would have eliminated the nectarines instead of the tomatoes), but the flavors were great.
ReplyDeleteGreat job on the dish - looks beautiful.
ReplyDeleteRecently, my husband decided to eat pescatarian and wow - how expensive is that choice! I spent $10 on 4 scallops and $15 on a lb of shrimp to feed 4. Ouch! Most nites that means no fish protein - have to find it in other ways. But this dish was worth it wasn't it? What a lovely combo of flavors - every bite was a treat. Happy Birthday - I am heading into #50 and trying not to think about it too much. It beats the alternative, right?
Happy 60th birthday. 60 is not old, so do not think that way. There are too many things to do ahead of you, and with such a lovely
ReplyDeletefamily you have a lot to enjoy. I just turned 81, and Tricia and I are busy planning our trip to the Loire Valley and Normandy for
this October. Your salad looks great and I love all your photos.
Happy, Happy Birthday, Guyla! Don’t you know that 60 is the new 40…that’s what I choose to believe! Nana’s right…it’s not old! Age is a state of mind! I could keep going on…but just remember that it sure as hell beats the alternative! I’ve got a couple years on you, and turning 60 was the only birthday that I really minded, but life is wonderful…enjoy everyday that’s given to you!!
ReplyDeleteLove your beautiful family photo…such a wonderful birthday gift!
Your scallops looks delicious! I haven’t made them yet…I’m away for the weekend. Looking forward to this dish!!
Bon Anniversaire, Guyla, and I beg you to rejoice in being 60, surrounded by, what appears to be, a fabulous family. All healthy. Beautiful and handsome. A darling baby. It doesn't get much better than that. Your salad looks lovely, all the meals you prepare seem delicious. May your year ahead be happy and filled with contentment.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday! Gorgeous family photo, delicious looking scallops. Hope you had a wonderful day and I hope that 60 turns out to be a wonderful adventure.
ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday! I'm a little late reading all the FFWD posts this week. Looks like your scallops were beautiful even if they were a little spendy. Sometimes you have to treat yourself, especially on a birthday!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday! What a wonderful way to spend it too! I think your salad looks fantastic! Well done. It was a hit here too. But I'm sure it would have been better at the beach!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, Guyla! I love your family photo. It looks like you're having a wonderful time celebrating. I really enjoyed this salad, though I left the nectarines out. It captured the essence of summer.
ReplyDeleteYour Warm Scallop Salad looks wonderful and very summery! And I love the family picture! Happy belated Birthday, August is a wonderful month (I was born on the 8th of August & one of my daughters on the 16th) - I skipped this week´s FFwD, no scaolpps to be had and busy with birthday things...
ReplyDeleteHerzlichen Glückwunsch von unserer ganzen Familie! (Happy Birthday from all us!)
Happy Birthday! As to the way things turn out, including ourselves, I always said life needs a 're-do' button. Anyway, I hope you have a bright year ahead. I liked the way you put the salad in the salad! Oh, and our house smelled of scallops for a few days afterwards, and you're right, not so nice then!
