Steps:
- To make the vinaigrette, combine the basil, mint and lime juice in a blender and process, stopping twice to scrape down the sides, until combined. With the blender running, slowly pour in the olive oil. Add the sugar, salt and pepper.
- To make the salad, bring a large saucepan that is 2/3 full of salted water to a boil. Add the snap peas and cook until they just begin to soften, about 2 minutes. Drain and immediately plunge the peas into cold water to stop the cooking. When cool, drain again and combine with the jicama and mung-bean sprouts.
- Sprinkle the scallops with 1 teaspoon salt. Melt the butter in a heavy skillet over high heat. Sear the scallops until they are browned and just cooked through, about 1 1/2 minutes per side.
- Toss the salad with half of the dressing and transfer it to a serving platter or individual serving plates. Top the salad with the scallops, then drizzle both the scallops and the salad with the remaining vinaigrette and sprinkle with the mint and basil.

Tips:
- Use fresh scallops. Fresh scallops have a sweet, briny flavor that is perfect for salads. If you can't find fresh scallops, you can use frozen scallops, but be sure to thaw them thoroughly before using.
- Sear the scallops properly. Searing the scallops gives them a nice golden brown crust and helps to lock in their flavor. To properly sear scallops, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add a little oil and then the scallops. Sear the scallops for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Use a variety of vegetables. This salad is a great way to use up your favorite vegetables. Some good choices include snap peas, snow peas, broccoli florets, bell peppers, and carrots. You can also add some fresh herbs, such as cilantro or basil.
- Make the dressing ahead of time. The dressing for this salad is simple to make, but it's even better if you let it sit for a while before using. This allows the flavors to meld together.
- Serve the salad immediately. This salad is best served immediately after it is made. The scallops will start to lose their flavor if they sit for too long.
Conclusion:
This Asian scallop and snap pea salad is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It is also a great way to use up your favorite vegetables. With its bright flavors and textures, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
