- To make the salad, bring a large saucepan that is 2/3 full of salted water to a boil. Add the snap peas and cook until they just begin to soften, about 2 minutes. Drain and immediately plunge the peas into cold water to stop the cooking. When cool, drain again and combine with the jicama and mung-bean sprouts.

- Toss the salad with half of the dressing and transfer it to a serving platter or individual serving plates. Top the salad with the scallops, then drizzle both the scallops and the salad with the remaining vinaigrette and sprinkle with the mint and basil.

Drizzle with oil, and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon lemon rind.
Tips:
- For a refreshing summer salad, chill the snap peas and jicama before assembling.
- For a crunchy texture, thinly slice the snap peas and jicama using a sharp knife or mandoline.
- To bring out the sweetness of the jicama, marinate it in a mixture of lime juice, honey, and salt for at least 30 minutes before adding it to the salad.
- If you don't have sea scallops, you can substitute shrimp, chicken, or tofu.
- For a vegan version of the salad, omit the sea scallops and add more vegetables, such as bell peppers, carrots, or cucumbers.
- Serve the salad immediately or store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
