Method

  • Make the vinaigrette: Mix the vinegar, lemon juice, honey, salt, and pepper in a blender or food processor.
  • With the machine running, gradually blend in the oil.
  • You could also make the vinaigrette in a bowl with a whisk, mixing in the oil last.
  • In a large bowl, combine the spinach, red onion, arugula, cherry tomatoes, and half of the cheese.
  • Toss the salad with enough vinaigrette to coat.
  • Season the salad with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Arrange the salad on a platter or in 4 individual bowls.
  • Season the scallops with salt and pepper.
  • Heat a large skillet and coat with non-stick spray.
  • Add the scallops and saute until cooked through, about 3 minutes on each side.
  • Remove the scallops and add to the top of the salad.
  • Cut the steaks crosswise into thin slices.
  • Arrange the steak slices atop the salad and sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
  • Drizzle more vinaigrette over the steak slices and serve.
