  Seafood Salad

  (The seaside knitters often order this at the Ocean’s Edge.)

  Serves 6

  Salad Ingredients

  12 cups loosely packed arugula leaves (or 6 cups arugula, 6 cups spinach)

  3/4 cup diced celery

  11/2 cups cherry tomatoes cut in half

  11/2 pounds large shrimp, shelled and deveined (about 25–30)

  1 pound sea scallops (approximately a dozen); these can be cut in half if desired

  2 cups croutons

  freshly ground sa
lt and pepper

  3–4 T olive oil

  2 T unsalted butter

  For the dressing

  2 cups loosely packed torn basil leaves

  5 T chopped parsley

  3 T olive oil

  11/2 T lemon juice

  zest of one lemon

  2 T white wine vinegar

  1 t minced garlic

  2 t stone-ground Dijon mustard

  1 shallot, thinly sliced

  freshly ground salt and pepper

  Preparation

  Dressing

  Heat the olive oil over medium heat; add lemon zest and shallot; cook, stirring, for 1–2 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in remaining ingredients. Adjust seasonings to taste and set aside.

  Seafood

  Heat 2 T olive oil and 1 T butter in large skillet over high heat.

  Dry scallops thoroughly and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

  When oil is hot, gently add scallops, making sure they don’t touch one another. Sear the scallops on each side for approximately 11/2 minutes. They should have a golden crust on each side and be opaque in the center. Remove from pan and put in a bowl.

  Reduce heat to medium high and add 1 T butter and 1–2 T olive oil to pan. Sprinkle shrimp with salt and pepper and add to pan. Turn several times until shrimp turn pink and are opaque in the center, about 3–4 minutes. Don’t overcook.

  Assembly

  Combine greens, herbs, celery, and tomatoes in a large bowl. Add scallops and shrimp. Toss lightly.

  Drizzle with warm dressing and toss to coat. Add salt and pepper if needed and sprinkle croutons on top.

  Serve with a smile.
