CARIBBEAN GRILLED SCALLOP SALAD
Boston lettuce has a mild taste and tender texture. Rinse it gently, pat dry and refrigerate with moistened paper towels until ready to assemble salad. (Total time: 16 mins.)This is a very nice and pretty salad dish. Cooking Light Magazine, August/05. Making of the salad included in prep time -- not cooling time. Update 06/19/2008 - after making this again I tweaked it a bit; the first thing I did was used a rub that I used for another dish - recipe #283294 which added quite a kick! Also, I was remiss about including Emeril's Creole Seasoning recipe #146819 number. Also, used a vinaigrette that I had for another salad and added more of the mango chutney!!!:)
