Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 pounds haricots verts (thin French green beans), trimmed
1 pound sea scallops
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 yellow bell peppers, cut into 2- by 1/4-inch strips
3 orange bell peppers, cut into 2- by 1/4-inch strips
2 large shallots, minced
3 tablespoons Sherry vinegar
1/2 teaspoon sugar
3 tablespoons walnut oil
4 heads radicchio, outer leaves only
1/3 cup walnuts, toasted lightly and chopped

Steps:

  • In a saucepan of boiling salted water boil haricots verts until crisp-tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain beans in a colander and refresh in cold water to stop cooking. Pat beans dry and wrap in a kitchen towel. Beans may be prepared 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.
  • Remove tough muscle from side of each scallop if necessary. Halve scallops horizontally and pat dry. Season scallops with salt and pepper.
  • In a non-stick skillet large enough to hold scallops in one layer heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and sauté scallops until golden, about 2 minutes on each side. Transfer scallops with a slotted spoon to a large bowl.
  • In skilled heat 1 tablespoon remaining olive oil until hot but not smoking and sauté bell peppers, stirring, until crisp-tender. Transfer bell peppers with slotted spoon to bowl with scallops.
  • In skillet cook shallots in 1 tablespoon remaining olive oil over moderate heat, stirring, until softened. Add vinegar, sugar, walnut oil, remaining olive oil, and salt to taste and simmer 1 minute. Remove skillet from heat and let vinaigrette cool 5 minutes.
  • Divide radicchio among 8 plates. Add beans and vinaigrette to scallop mixture and toss gently. Divide salad among plates and sprinkle with walnuts.

I'm not a big fan of seafood, but I really enjoyed this salad. The scallops were cooked perfectly and the salad was very flavorful. I would definitely make this again.

I thought this salad was a bit bland. The scallops were cooked well, but the dressing didn't have much flavor. I would probably add some more herbs or spices next time.

I thought this salad was just okay. The scallops were a bit overcooked and the dressing was too tangy for my taste. I would probably try a different recipe next time.

I've made this salad twice now and it's been a hit both times! It's so easy to make and the flavors are incredible. I especially love the crunch from the walnuts and the slight sweetness from the bell peppers.

This warm salad was a delightful dish! The scallops were perfectly seared and the combination of flavors from the haricots verts, bell peppers, and walnuts was amazing. The walnut vinaigrette dressing was the perfect finishing touch.
