Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Salad Base

    Wash and dry the green leaf lettuce thoroughly. Tear it into bite-sized pieces and place it in a large salad bowl.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop it out. Cut it into cubes and set aside. Halve the cherry tomatoes and thinly slice the red onion.

Cooking the Scallops

  1. 3

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy. Remove from the skillet and place on a paper towel to drain excess fat. Once cooled, crumble the bacon.

  2. 4

    Prepare the Scallops

    Pat the sea scallops dry with paper towels. Season them generously on both sides with blackening seasoning.

  3. 5

    Sear the Scallops

    In the same skillet used for the bacon, add olive oil and heat over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned scallops. Sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are blackened and cooked through. Remove from heat.

Assembly

  1. 6

    Assemble the Salad

    In the bowl with the lettuce, add the avocado cubes, cherry tomatoes, red onion slices, crumbled bacon, and blue cheese. Toss gently to combine.

  2. 7

    Add the Scallops

    Top the salad with the blackened scallops.

  3. 8

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle champagne vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to coat all ingredients.

  4. 9

    Serve

    Serve the Blackened Scallop Cobb immediately, garnished with additional blue cheese if desired.
