1. Cook the Seafood
Cook the shrimp, calamari, and scallops using your preferred method—seared, boiled, or grilled—until tender and perfectly done.
2. Chill and Combine
Once cooled, gently mix the cooked seafood with crab meat in a large bowl. Refrigerate to chill before assembling the salad.
3. Whisk the Dressing
In a small bowl, combine lemon juice, olive oil, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. This tangy dressing will bring the salad to life.
4. Toss and Assemble
Remove the chilled seafood mixture and add mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, red onion, cucumber, and avocado. Drizzle with the dressing and toss gently to combine.
5. Serve and Enjoy
Plate individual servings and enjoy the delightful blend of textures and flavors.
