"Another drool-worthy recipe arrived via email in my latest grandparentsdotcom Newsletter. The editors said "If you've never tried strawberries & avocado together, then this is where to start. Meaty scallops make it a full meal." The recipe is from Jenkinson’s Boardwalk Bar & Grill in Point Pleasant Beach, New Jersey, it was shared by New Jersey food guru John Holl in his "Dishing Up New Jersey Cookbook" & described as "A sweet, creamy & salty inventive salad". A raspberry vinaigrette salad dressing was suggested, but I'll leave that choice to you. Prep time was estimated by me & includes time to prep the ingredients. ENJOY!"
