Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Saute scallops in hot butter for about 3 minutes, just enough to cook them lightly.

  2. Step 2

    Combine scallops with remaining salad ingredients in serving bowl.

  3. Step 3

    Whisk oil with vinegar and beat in remaining dressing ingredients. Pour over salad and toss gently.

  4. Step 4

    Chill or serve at room temperature. It is better if salad is not too cool, for this detracts from the flavors.
