I love scallops. They’re so rich and delicious, plus they cook in just minutes! I served them atop a creamy Avocado Cilantro Sauce. The sauce had just the right amount of heat from the jalapenos. You can tame it down if you want to, but I like it spicy! We also had a bowl of Organic White Tortilla Chips for dipping into the sauce… couldn’t let any go to waste. 
This was our dinner, along with a small side salad and some Parmesan Cumin Corn-On-The-Cob. It was so yummy!!
