Citrusy and aromatic, cilantro stars in this easy seafood appetizer that makes an elegant entry point to a night of entertaining. The texture of the scallops, cured in lime juice like a ceviche, plays against the smooth flesh of the avocado. It’s worth finely chopping the herbs by hand and working them into the oil to create a rustic salsa verde, for equal parts freshness and finesse.
