Ingredients

• 2 pieces Lobster tail (cooked, chopped)
• 8 pieces Sea scallops (large, cleaned)
• 4 cups Mixed salad greens
• 1 medium Cucumber (thinly sliced)
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes (halved)
• 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1.5 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 1 clove Garlic (minced)
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (toasted)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 medium Avocado (sliced, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the dressing by whisking together the sesame oil, olive oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl. Set aside.

Step 2

Rinse the salad greens thoroughly under cold water, then pat them dry. Divide the greens among four serving plates.

Step 3

Arrange the sliced cucumber and halved cherry tomatoes on top of the greens. If using avocado, slice it and add to the salad plates.

Step 4

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add a small amount of olive oil to the pan.

Step 5

Season the sea scallops lightly with salt and pepper. Sear the scallops in the skillet for 2 minutes on each side or until they develop a golden crust and are cooked through. Remove from the pan and let them rest for a minute.

Step 6

If not already cooked, boil or steam the lobster tails until the meat is opaque and tender, about 8-10 minutes. Let cool slightly, then chop the meat into bite-sized pieces.

Step 7

Place the cooked lobster and seared scallops onto the prepared salads.

Step 8

Drizzle the sesame dressing evenly over each salad. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds for added crunch and flavor.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy this fresh, luxurious salad!
