I'm allergic to nuts, so I omitted the pine nuts. The salad was still delicious.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover scallops. I had some leftover from a seafood boil and they worked perfectly in this salad.

I thought the pine nuts were a bit too oily. I might try using toasted almonds next time.

I'm not a big fan of arugula, but this salad changed my mind. The bitterness of the arugula is perfectly balanced by the sweetness of the scallops and the creaminess of the dressing.

This salad is so refreshing and summery. I love the combination of the sweet scallops, peppery arugula, and tangy dressing.

I thought the dressing was a bit bland. I added some lemon juice and Dijon mustard, which really improved the flavor.

This salad was a hit at my dinner party! The scallops were perfectly cooked and the arugula was fresh and peppery. The dressing was light and flavorful, and the pine nuts added a nice crunchy texture.
