Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (medium-sized, cleaned and shucked) fresh abalone
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 4 cups mixed salad greens
- 1 medium (sliced) cucumber
- 1 cup (halved) cherry tomatoes
- 4 thinly sliced radishes
- 1 medium-sized (sliced) avocado
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh parsley
Instructions
Begin by preparing the abalone: Use a sharp knife to thinly slice the abalone across the grain.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, honey, and freshly ground black pepper to create the dressing.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the prepared dressing to the skillet.
Once hot, add the sliced abalone to the skillet, cooking for about 1-2 minutes on each side until just tender and opaque. Be careful not to overcook as abalone can become tough.
Remove the abalone from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes.
In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, sliced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, radishes, avocado, and fresh parsley.
Add the cooked abalone to the salad bowl.
Drizzle the remaining dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly.
Serve the salad immediately, ensuring each serving has a good balance of abalone and vegetables.
