Place scallops in the skillet in a single layer. Cook without turning until the underside is crispy brown and then turn. Sear in batches if necessary. 6. Cover scallops, set aside and keep warm while preparing the salad. 7. Arrange greens on 4 dinner plates, top with cucumbers and tomatoes.8. Divide the scallops onto each plate; garnish with arils. Serve with dressing.
