I added a bit of crumbled bacon to the salad and it was delicious. It added a nice smoky flavor.

I'm not a fan of raw onions. I omitted them from the salad and it was still very good.

I'm allergic to asparagus. I substituted broccoli instead and it was still very good.

The dressing was a bit too oily for my taste. I would recommend using less olive oil next time.

I accidentally overcooked the scallops. They were still good, but they weren't as tender as they could have been.

I had trouble finding sea scallops at my local grocery store. I ended up using bay scallops instead and they worked just fine.
