Ingredients
- 8 ounces fresh abalone
- 4 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 0.5 teaspoons sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 4 cups mixed greens
- 1 medium, sliced cucumber
- 1 cup, halved cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium, sliced avocado
- 0.25 cup, thinly sliced red onion
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh dill
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the abalone. Rinse the abalone under cold water to remove any debris or sand.
Step 2
Pat the abalone dry with paper towels and slice them into thin, even pieces.
Step 3
In a bowl, mix lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, sea salt, and ground black pepper to create a marinade.
Step 4
Add the sliced abalone to the marinade, ensuring they are thoroughly coated. Let sit for at least 10 minutes to absorb flavors.
Step 5
While the abalone is marinating, prepare the salad base. In a large salad bowl, combine mixed greens, sliced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, avocado, red onion, and fresh dill.
Step 6
Once the abalone has marinated, heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 7
Sear the abalone slices for about 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown and just cooked through. Avoid overcooking to maintain tenderness.
Step 8
Remove the abalone from the skillet and allow them to cool for a few minutes.
Step 9
Gently mix the seared abalone with the prepared salad. Adjust seasoning with more sea salt and pepper if needed.
Step 10
Serve the salad immediately for the freshest taste, and enjoy this Whole30-compliant dish.
