GINGER CUCUMBER SALAD WITH SCALLOPS
This 2004 recipe draws its inspiration from Thailand, where Mark Bittman first sampled it. The original was topped with shrimp, but his version uses scallops, "a slightly more unusual and elegant combination," but don't feel tied to just scallops: any grilled meat, poultry or fish work just as well here.

Steps:
- Peel cucumbers if they have been waxed, then trim their ends and cut them in half the long way. Scoop out seeds with a teaspoon. Sprinkle each half with about 1/4 teaspoon of salt, then place them in a colander. Let drain for about 30 minutes. Rinse lightly, and drain again. Cut into 1/8-to- 1/4-inch-thick slices and place in a bowl.
- Mix together the fish sauce, lime juice, garlic, chili, lemon grass and sugar. Thin with a tablespoon of water. Taste, and add more of any flavoring you wish. Toss dressing with cucumbers, and set aside.
- Place greens on a large platter. Put a large nonstick skillet over high heat. In a bowl, toss scallops with oil, then sprinkle them with salt and cayenne. When skillet begins to smoke, add scallops one at a time; do not crowd them. Cook for about 2 minutes on the first side, turning as they brown; depending on their size, cook for 1 to 3 minutes on the second side. (Scallops are best when their interior is slightly underdone; cut into one to check it.)
- Toss cucumbers with most of the herbs, and spoon them and the dressing over the greens. Top with the scallops. Drizzle with sesame oil, and top with remaining herbs. Serve immediately.

Tips:
- To ensure the best flavor and quality, select fresh, plump scallops. Look for scallops that have a briny, oceanic aroma and a firm texture.
- Before using, clean the scallops thoroughly. Remove the side muscle, rinse the scallops under cold water, and pat them dry with paper towels.
- To prevent overcooking, sear the scallops quickly over high heat. Sear them for 1-2 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and opaque throughout.
- For a more flavorful vinaigrette, use a variety of citrus juices, such as orange, lemon, and lime. You can also add a touch of honey or maple syrup for sweetness and balance the flavors.
- To assemble the salad, layer the scallops, strawberries, cucumber, and gorgonzola cheese on a bed of arugula or mixed greens. Drizzle the citrus-Dijon vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to combine.
Conclusion:
Scallop salad with strawberries, cucumber, and gorgonzola cheese in citrus-Dijon vinaigrette is a refreshing and flavorful dish perfect for a light lunch or a summer dinner. The combination of sweet and savory flavors, along with the creamy texture of the gorgonzola cheese, creates a delightful and satisfying meal.
