Method

Preparation of Scallops

  1. 1

    Prepare the Scallops

    Begin by ensuring the scallops are fresh and properly cleaned. Pat them dry with a paper towel.

  2. 2

    Using a sharp knife, finely dice the scallops into small cubes (approximately 1/4 inch). Place them in a mixing bowl.

Citrus Dressing

  1. 3

    Make the Dressing

    In a separate bowl, combine the lime juice, lemon juice, olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well mixed.

  2. 4

    Pour the citrus dressing over the diced scallops and gently fold to combine, ensuring the scallops are evenly coated.

Herbs and Assembly

  1. 5

    Add Herbs

    Finely chop the fresh chives and cilantro. Add them to the scallop mixture and gently fold to combine.

  2. 6

    Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Dice the avocado into small cubes. Gently fold the avocado into the scallop mixture.

  3. 7

    To serve, spoon the scallop tartare onto a plate or into a small bowl. Garnish with microgreens on top.
