Ingredients:

Serving

1 cup apple cider
2 tsp sugar
4 slices center-cut bacon
1/4 cup chopped shallots
1 tbsp cider vinegar
3/4 tsp salt, divided
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups thinly sliced granny smith apple (about 1)
1/3 cup thinly sliced red onion
1 (6-oz) package fresh baby spinach
1/4 tsp curry powder
1/8 tsp ground red pepper
20 sea scallops (about 1 1/2 lb)
2 tsp olive oil

Directions:

Combine cider and sugar in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil; cook until reduced to 1/4 cup (about 9 minutes). Remove from heat.
Cook bacon in a small nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until crisp. Remove bacon from pan, reserving 1 teaspoon drippings in pan; set bacon aside. Add chopped shallots to drippings in pan; sauté 1 minute. Remove pan from heat; stir in cider mixture, cider vinegar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and black pepper.
Crumble reserved bacon. Combine bacon, Granny Smith apple, onion, and spinach in a large bowl.
Combine remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, curry powder, and red pepper in a small bowl. Sprinkle salt mixture evenly over both sides of scallops. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add scallops to pan; cook 3 minutes on each side or until done.
Drizzle cider mixture over spinach mixture; toss gently to coat. Place about 2 1/2 cups salad mixture on each of 4 plates; top each serving with 5 scallops.
