    Ingredients

    • 2 avocados, chopped
    • 3/4 tsp. lime zest and 4 tsp. juice
    • 1 red jalapeño, very thinly sliced
    • 1 tsp. rice vinegar
    • 1/8 tsp. sugar
    • 2 tbsp. canola oil
    • 12 large scallops (12 oz.)
    • 4 radishes, cut into matchsticks
    • Cilantro leaves, for garnish

    Preparation

    In medium bowl, mash avocado, lime zest and juice; season. In small bowl, mix jalapeño, vinegar and sugar. In skillet, heat oil over medium-high. Cook seasoned scallops until browned, about 2 minutes; turn and cook until opaque in centers, about 1 minute. Divide avocado mixture among plates; top with scallops, radishes, jalapeño and cilantro.

    Bonus: How do you store avocados? Put whole ripe avocados in the fridge and they’ll stay fresh for up to a week.
