Baby Kale Avocado Salad

  • Place the baby kale and avocado (pealed, cut into quarters) in a large bowl.
  • Drizzle in olive oil and the juice of half a lemon (to taste). Add in salt.
  • Massage with your hands until everything is well mixed, and the avocado coats the baby kale. The kale should be soft and a bit wilted. Add in more lemon juice and/or salt to taste.
  • In a separate pan, sauté the capers. Once done, add to the salad.

Seared Scallops

  • Make sure that your scallops are completely dry.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • In a frying pan, add in butter and olive oil on high heat, until melted.
  • Gently place the scallops in the pan, one by one.
  • Sear the scallops for 1 ½ minutes on each side, until sides are golden brown.
  • Add scallops to the salad, and enjoy!
