4 servings
- 1 lb bay scallops, side muscle removed, patted dry
- ½ cup fresh lime juice (from about 4–5 limes)
- 1 jalapeño, seeded and finely diced
Ingredient noteThe Mold Detox diet limits chili peppers because they can pick up mold once they are dried and stored, but the peppers on this line are used fresh, not dried, so they are likely tolerated by many. If you prefer to always avoid fresh chili peppers, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- ½ small red onion, finely diced
- 1 persian cucumber, finely diced
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro leaves, roughly chopped
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- ½ tsp fine sea salt
- 1 avocado, diced (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Place the scallops in a large mixing bowl. Pour the lime juice over them, making sure all scallops are submerged or nearly so. Cover and refrigerate for 20–25 minutes, until the scallops are opaque throughout with no translucent center remaining — they will feel slightly firm when pressed.

While the scallops cure, combine the jalapeño, red onion, and cucumber in a separate bowl.
