Provided by Molly O'Neill

Categories     dinner, weekday, main course

Time 20m

Yield 6 first-course or 4 main-course servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 cup coarsely chopped basil
1/2 cup coarsely chopped mint
3 tablespoons lime juice
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3/4 pound (about 3 cups) snap peas
1 small (about 3/4 pound) jicama, peeled and cut into 2-inch matchsticks
1 1/2 cups mung-bean sprouts
18 large sea scallops (about 1 1/2 pounds), sliced in half and patted dry
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Thinly sliced basil leaves for garnish
Thinly sliced mint leaves for garnish

Steps:

  • To make the vinaigrette, combine the basil, mint and lime juice in a blender and process, stopping twice to scrape down the sides, until combined. With the blender running, slowly pour in the olive oil. Add the sugar, salt and pepper.
  • 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.
  • Sprinkle the scallops with 1 teaspoon salt. Melt the butter in a heavy skillet over high heat. Sear the scallops until they are browned and just cooked through, about 1 1/2 minutes per side.
  • 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.

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.
