Bacon Wrapped Scallops with Mango and Pineapple Salsa

Lately, we find ourselves gravitating towards the use of fruity salsas like a Mango and Pineapple to accompany a variety of proteins such as scallops. No matter the choice of meat, a fruit salsa adds brightness and tang that is very complimentary, especially to a fattier, more decadent piece of meat.

The mango pineapple salsa in this dish really cuts through the fattiness of the bacon and gives a nice textural experience with every bite.

Serve alongside a simple salad of mixed greens or some fresh asparagus gently roasted for a light and refreshing summer meal.
