    • 1 mango, peeled, pitted and cut into 16 – 3/4 inch cubes
    • 2 Tbsp butter melted
    • 2 Tsp mustard

    Spinach Toss

    • 6 cups baby spinach

    • 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
    • 2 Tbsp olive oil
    • 2 Tsp lemon juice

    Instructions:

    1. Alternately thread 3 scallops and 2 mango cubes onto each of 8 metal or soaked wood skewers
