Basil & Scallop Pasta Salad image

This recipe was printed in the Sunset Magazine. In addition to the prep and cook time there is a 2-8 hour refrigeration time to chill the salad. I have never made this, but 1/2 cup each olive oil and salad oil seems to much.

I would have liked the salad more if the scallops were cooked a bit less.
