  • 1⁄2 t smoked paprika

  • 1 lb sea scallops

  • 1 T avocado oil

  • 1⁄2 English cucumber, sliced

  • 1 avocado, diced

  • 1⁄2 c cherry tomatoes, halved

  • 2 c mixed salad greens

  • 2 T crumbles goat cheese

Vinaigrette

  • 1 t minced shallot

  • 1 T apple cider vinegar

  • 3 T olive oil

  • 1 t salt

  • 1⁄2 t black pepper

Prepare the grill.

Toss peaches in a bowl with olive oil, salt and pepper, and smoked paprika. When grill is hot, cook peach quarters briefly on each side (about 3 minutes) to caramelize juices and make grill marks on the flesh. Remove to a plate.

Dry scallops with a paper towel. Brush both sides with a little avocado oil, then salt and pepper. Grill about 2 minutes per side, to just cook through. Remove to a plate.

Combine all vinaigrette ingredients in a small bowl and whisk. Taste for salt and pepper.

Arrange all salad ingredients (greens, cucumber, tomatoes, and avocado) on a serving platter. Top with grilled peaches and scallops. Add avocado and goat cheese, and drizzle with vinaigrette. Top with chopped herbs and serve.
