Because of my current vegan cleanse diet, I had to make this dish last weekend. But it was such a hit that I’m still dreaming of those scallops. And the corn with lime dressing. And that grilled peach! I suppose I could make the entire salad again without the scallops, but where’s the fun in that? Anyway, I digress. This very summery salad brought together seasonal fruits and veggies with a simple spicy-lime dressing and basil coulis. However, the next time I make this, I’ll probably add a dusting of cilantro, just to see how it tastes with all the other flavors.

Wonderful colours – looks delicious.
Aug 10, 2012 @ 06:39:35
Great combo, if I add cilantro I would probably leave out the basil.
Aug 10, 2012 @ 06:56:07
Its amazing what a squeeze of lime can do to lift dishes out of the ordinary, oh that and some prefectly cooked scallops 🙂
Aug 10, 2012 @ 06:58:15

Lovely color on those scallops! Cilantro would be a nice touch here – especially with the lime dressing.
Aug 10, 2012 @ 07:05:36
I love that photograph so bright and colorful. I didn’t make this one for today but I am going to without the scallops. It looks beautiful.
Aug 10, 2012 @ 07:12:51
Funny how you’re now into your vegan cleansing phase because I’ve actually made a vegan version of this salad! Lol. I love the colors and your presentation, quite stunning. 🙂
Aug 10, 2012 @ 08:03:39
When its warm like today the best thing I could imagine is a salad. Thank you for sharing.
Aug 10, 2012 @ 08:35:56
this looks so so good
Aug 10, 2012 @ 09:00:12
What a great sounding salad…I think I might like the cilantro as well.
Aug 10, 2012 @ 09:18:11
It turned out great YC. Hope the cleanse is going well.
Aug 10, 2012 @ 09:38:51
i never would have thought of peaches and scallops!
Aug 10, 2012 @ 10:01:30
It looks great! Agree that a bit of cilantro would add that extra.
Aug 10, 2012 @ 10:25:55
I have only tried scallops once, and it was a LONG time ago, but I remember liking it. I need to try it again!!
Aug 10, 2012 @ 10:49:36
Wonderful salad! Colorful and very summer-y!
Aug 10, 2012 @ 11:42:50
Beautiful salad:) Cilantro sounds good. Have a nice weekend!
Aug 10, 2012 @ 16:58:40
If that’s not summer on a plate, I don’t know what is! What a beautiful dish.
Aug 10, 2012 @ 17:01:33
i love the idea of adding cilantro! 🙂
Aug 10, 2012 @ 17:39:19
What lovely combinations! It’s like summer on a plate!!
Aug 10, 2012 @ 17:46:40
I agree 100% with “bitsandbreadcrumbs” statement!! That salad DEFINES Summertime on a Plate! I WANT SOME! =)
Aug 10, 2012 @ 20:11:08
i looove scallops!! They’re so versatile and scrumptious! The only thing is they can be quite expensive here 😦 But I guess that’s when we save them for the special occasions!
Aug 10, 2012 @ 20:57:14
Your salad looks great! We decided this would be great with shrimp, chicken or on its own!
Aug 10, 2012 @ 21:03:46
I love scallops! Yours have such a beautiful brown glaze!
Aug 10, 2012 @ 21:31:52
I can see why this salad was a big hit. So many terrific summer flavours all in one dish!
Aug 10, 2012 @ 22:14:34
I would love a grilled peach. Bring on summer xx
Aug 11, 2012 @ 00:24:09
I love the lime dressing. And I think the addition of cilantro would be really good. Such basic ingredients, but when put together it is simple, yet elegant.
Aug 11, 2012 @ 01:22:05
I agree with the cilantro love! Great idea. Such a beautiful salad I could have it all over again.
Aug 11, 2012 @ 02:03:01
Wonderful salad!! Just perfect for summer! 🙂
Aug 11, 2012 @ 02:15:04
I just had grilled peach for the first time at my dinner party yesterday and me too, I fell in love!! It was so delicious. Without blog hopping, I wouldn’t have grilled fruits! I still have scallop in my freezer so I’m going to try cooking on my own – thanks for the idea!
Aug 11, 2012 @ 07:59:59
wow.. your vibrant photo tells is all! Gorgeous! They all say we eat with our eyes first and this shot makes me want a big plateful!
Aug 11, 2012 @ 09:08:31
Looks delicious. Since I’m not a scallop lover, food poisoning does that to you, I had to pass but all those other ingredients I would have loved. I hope you will report back on the veggie cleanse. It’s impressive that you’ve stayed on the strict diet.
Aug 11, 2012 @ 09:21:19
Although I did not eat these scallops, I would love to try this with shrimp. This
is such a great time with all the fresh veggies around to experiment with
many flavors of herbs. Wonderful looking salad.
Aug 11, 2012 @ 09:59:21
Oh goodness gracious me, that Salad looks awesome Yummy! I’d happily have a few nibbles for you in the mean time:)
Thanks for sharing…
Aug 11, 2012 @ 12:14:02
Beautiful and for once I have scallops!
Aug 11, 2012 @ 12:25:51
Wowsa! New favorite FFwD? I think for me, it might be. Loving that lime dressing 🙂
Aug 11, 2012 @ 13:07:34
Loved, loved, loved in our family too. Will absolutely be making it again and dreaming of other variations!
Aug 11, 2012 @ 13:48:52
Your salad is plated beautifully! Is that an apricot? If it’s a nectarine it has incredible color.
Aug 11, 2012 @ 18:13:02
Only one word needed for this…
gorgeous!
Aug 11, 2012 @ 20:58:32

Aug 12, 2012 @ 06:37:48
Scallops are one of my absolute favorite things to eat. They are such a treat. I recently made them with a fresh peach and yellow tomato salsa and they were great! I bet this is great, too. All the fresh corn and basil! Perfect for summer.
Aug 12, 2012 @ 08:33:34
My mouth is watering! That looks so good!
Aug 12, 2012 @ 09:21:47
Wow….gorgeous!! I love the flavor combos!

Your salad looks like a little wreath of summery goodness! I love it! Reading all these posts is making me really, really, really want scallops again too. When is this cleanse thing over? And how’s it going?
Aug 12, 2012 @ 16:35:51
OMG! Grilled peaches and scallops together in a salad! This looks just fabulous!
Aug 12, 2012 @ 16:54:09
What a great way to celebrate summer by grilling those peaches and pairing them with scallops. I’d be dreaming of those scallops too 🙂
Aug 12, 2012 @ 20:25:34

Grilled peaches sound so good right now!!
Aug 16, 2012 @ 09:48:01
I love scallops- my favorite! Peaches and basil aren’t far behind. Great salad, can’t wait to try!
Aug 17, 2012 @ 13:29:04
This looks and sounds DELICIOUS!
Aug 17, 2012 @ 20:26:55
I gave this a miss, I didn’t think our winter veg and fruit would do it justice!
Absolutely love the colours on the plate and am hanging out for summer to try it!
Aug 20, 2012 @ 08:53:57
Both scallops and warm salads pave the way to my heart. Thank you for sharing this photo :’) I’m now drooling at midnight as a result.
