Winter Salad with Sauteed Bay Scallops

This winter salad with sautéed bay scallops is a vibrant celebration of seasonal citrus and fresh seafood. The combination of bitter greens, such as radicchio and endive, provides a sophisticated crunch that perfectly balances the sweetness of the fresh orange segments and the delicate, buttery texture of the scallops. Finished with a zesty lime and balsamic dressing, it offers a bright pop of colour and flavour during the colder months when fresh, light meals are most welcome.

As a diabetes-friendly recipe, this dish is naturally low in carbohydrates and high in lean protein, making it an excellent choice for a heart-healthy lunch or a refined starter. The use of extra-virgin olive oil provides healthy fats, while the vitamin-rich greens and tomatoes add essential nutrients without compromising on taste. It is a simple yet elegant way to enjoy a nutritious, homemade meal.
