2 peaches, quartered with skin left on
1 T olive oil
Kosher salt and black pepper
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
Chopped basil and/or parslely
Vinaigrette
1 t minced shallot
1 t Dijon mustard
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.
