Now that summer is upon us, I can’t get enough grilled food. I especially enjoy serving grilled meat over a raw vegetable salad – it’s healthy, easy and doesn’t heat up the house on those hot days.
Scallops are a great addition to any diet – they are low in fat and high in both omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin B12. This recipe is very simple yet with its impressive presentation, your guests will never know just how easy it was to prepare. The serving size could be easily manipulated to work as a first course.
Tilapia is the common name for nearly a hundred species of cichlid fish from the tilapiine cichlid tribe. One tilapia species found in the Sea of Galilee is known as St. Peter's fish.
