I've NEVER prepared scallops before.
This really caught my eye and hope to be making it in the near future.
Sounds fairly simple, which I like.
* Whisk 3/4 cup dressing with shallots, garlic, 3/4 tsp each salt and pepper. Toss with tomatoes, capers, basil, chives, and dill. Let stand for 30 minutes.
* Meanwhile, pat scallops dry with paper towel. Season all over with remaining salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet set over high heat until just barely smoking. Sear scallops, without moving, for 3 to 5 minutes, turning once, or until a golden brown crust has formed and scallops release easily from skillet.
* Divide evenly among 4 plates. Top with seared scallops. Drizzle each serving with remaining dressing.
