A chilled ceviche of bay scallops, lime, avocado, cilantro, and hearts of palm is served in scallop shells atop a bed of rock salt. If the scallops are too large they may be cut in half before marinating. Similarly, if you need to substitute sea scallops you may cut them into 1/2-inch pieces.

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 navel orange
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
3/4 seedless cucumber (usually plastic-wrapped), halved lengthwise, cored, and thinly sliced (2 cups)
