Scallop and Beets Salad

My boyfriend made scallop in cream sauce and beets salad with mustard dressing. He's always a good cook but this dinner was one of my favorites. So lucky to have a boyfriend who likes to cook.

The sallop was top-notch. He browned the scallop and cooked in the cream sauce which had shallots, butter, cream, garlic and white wine. Top it with fresh basil. His signature beets salad is the recipe he learned from the chef he used to work for as a waiter in Minnesota. Roast the whole beets. Cover them and cool. Peel and slice beets. The dressing is a mixture of olive oil, ground mustard, dijon mustard and a bit of honey. Top with sliced caramelized or roasted onion and some blue cheese.
