1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon maple syrup
Dash of salt
Dash of freshly ground black pepper
Salad:
3 cups (1/2-inch) cubed peeled sweet potato
Cooking spray
3/4 teaspoon salt, divided

1 pound sea scallops
6 cups gourmet salad greens

Cool completely. Sprinkle scallops with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Heat a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat. Add scallops, and cook 2 minutes on each side or until done. Combine sweet potato, greens, grapes, and red bell pepper in a large bowl. Drizzle vinaigrette over potato mixture; toss gently to coat. Place 1 1/3 cups salad mixture on each of 6 plates; divide scallops evenly among salads. Sprinkle each serving with 2 teaspoons pecans.

I'm not a fan of pecans, but I still enjoyed this salad. The scallops were cooked perfectly and the sweet potato was a great addition. I would definitely make this again, but I would omit the pecans.

The scallops were a bit overcooked for my taste, but the salad was delicious. I would try this recipe again, but I would cook the scallops for a shorter amount of time.
