Scallops with Grapefruit Avocado Salsa

This Entree Salad of Scallops with Grapefruit Avocado Salsa is one of our favorite summery seafood entrees.  It is rich tasting from the dense scallops and made lively with a salsa of creamy avocado, red grapefruit sections, and chives and cilantro.  Chop up the salsa roughly, or plate it as a salad. We don’t always have grapefruits on hand, and with peeled and sectioned grapefruit in their own juice readily available in our market (a convenience we truly love), we are able to make this quickly.

    This is my very favorite lunch entree during hot months. I love every single thing in it!

    I forget, sometimes, how fast a few scallops come together as an entree. I had some grapefruit sections (I cheated, they are from a jar but no sugar added), an avocado to use before it I had to put it to compost, and all the veggies, so I just bought a few scallops and made this. It was very good.
