Do you ever just get sick of warm and cozy soups and stews in the winter? Since it’s not really cold here in central Florida all through winter, some days I just want a light and fresh salad. Last week we had days in the eighties, where I was in my shorts, and the next day back down in the fifties, where it was cold enough for a sweater. With this crazy up and down weather, I have been missing the fresh tastes of summer. I found the most gorgeous raspberries at the market the other day, and knew I just had to make them into a light, savory dish. I used raspberries, mango, avocado and red onions over a spring mix salad. I simply seared some sea scallops for the salad, with just salt and pepper, and then I made a fresh vinaigrette with red wine vinegar, honey and lemon juice. This would be a perfect salad for your Valentine’s day dinner too.
