Scampi Brochettes Salad

Can't stop making (and eating!) this Scampi Brochettes Salad inspired by the lovely dinner we enjoyed at Le Chalet Grill in Brussels, Belgium on our European vacation...aww, such fond memories. I could hardly wait to get back into the kitchen upon arriving home sweet home to try replicating them. Presenting this impressive all-in-one entree salad is as easy as blending the hollandaise and lightly dressing the butter lettuce while the scampi brochettes are grilling. Hope you enjoy this one as much as I have. I've been making it on repeat since we got home!
