The addition of scallops turns a traditional grapefruit and avocado salad into an elegant entrée. The antioxidant duo of thyme leaves and a hint of ginger gives this dish an unexpected, yet perfect pairing of flavors.

Makes 4 servings.

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Cook Time: 8 minutes

INGREDIENTS

2 large red grapefruits, peeled and sectioned (1 1/2 cups)

1 medium avocado, peeled and thinly sliced

2 tablespoons champagne or white wine vinegar

2 tablespoons olive oil, divided

2 teaspoons minced shallot

1 1/2 teaspoons McCormick® Thyme Leaves, divided

1/4 plus 1/8 teaspoons salt, divided

1/8 teaspoon McCormick® Black Pepper, Ground

1/2 teaspoon McCormick® Ginger, Ground

1 pound large sea scallops (about 12)

1 package (5 ounces) baby spinach leaves

DIRECTIONS

1. Gently toss grapefruit segments and avocado slices in medium bowl. Set aside. Mix vinegar, 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, shallot, 1/2 teaspoon of the thyme, 1/8 teaspoon of the salt and pepper in small bowl with wire whisk until well blended. Set aside.

2. Mix remaining 1 teaspoon thyme, ginger and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt in small bowl. Coat scallops evenly on both sides with spice mixture. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in large skillet on medium-high heat. Add scallops; cook 6 to 8 minutes or until scallops are golden brown, turning once.

3. Divide spinach evenly among 4 serving plates. Top each with scallops and grapefruit mixture. Drizzle each salad with about 1 tablespoon of dressing. Serve immediately.
