| Deciding what to make for dinner is always difficult, but I find it even harder in the summer. Dinner is usually my heartiest meal of the day, so I often find myself tending toward richer foods. While there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that, with the warmer weather coming in, you may want something on the lighter side. Today’s recipe is satisfying without being too heavy — the perfect combination for summer!

| Seared scallops with dilled orzo and cucumber salad |
| I don’t know about you, but my meals usually feel like going back and forth between chicken and ground beef (and maybe the occasional salmon). Summer is a great season to branch out with your proteins, and what better pick than these garlic butter seared scallops? |
| Scallops are high in protein. In this recipe, each serving contains over 50 grams. Consuming a high protein diet may aid weight loss, help you increase your muscle mass, and improve your physical performance when working out. Scallops are also rich in omega-3 fatty acids. These compounds offer numerous benefits, including protection against heart disease and support for eye, bone, and joint health..
|
| Add the cucumbers, herbs, fresh-squeezed lemon, and a few other seasonal ingredients, and you’ve got yourself a refreshing summer dinner in under 20 minutes!.
