Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1 teaspoon prepared hot English mustard
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon whipping cream
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives
8 small red-skinned potatoes
16 medium sea scallops (about 1 pound), halved horizontally
5 ounces mixed baby greens
Additional chopped fresh chives

Steps:

  • Whisk 1 tablespoon oil, vinegar and both mustards in medium bowl to blend. Whisk in mayonnaise, then cream. Mix in 2 tablespoons chives. Season vinaigrette to taste with salt and pepper.

  • Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in heavy large skillet over high heat. Add potatoes and sauté until golden, about 2 minutes per side. Using slotted spoon, transfer potatoes to plate. Add scallops to same skillet and sauté until just cooked through, about 1 minute per side.
  • Toss mixed greens in large bowl with enough vinaigrette to coat. Season salad to taste with salt and pepper. Spoon salad onto center of plates. Arrange scallops and potatoes atop salad. Drizzle remaining vinaigrette around scallops and potatoes. Sprinkle with additional chopped chives and serve.

This recipe was a disaster! The scallops were rubbery and the potatoes were undercooked.

I found the creamy vinaigrette to be a bit too heavy. I would probably use a lighter dressing next time.

The scallops were a bit overcooked, but the salad was still delicious.

I'm not a huge fan of creamy dressings, but this vinaigrette was surprisingly light and flavorful. It didn't overpower the delicate flavor of the scallops.

This scallop and potato salad was a hit at my dinner party! The creamy vinaigrette was perfectly balanced and complemented the briny scallops and tender potatoes. I will definitely be making this dish again.
