Fresh scallops are served with a fresh tomato salad in this no-effort summer dish. Because they’re being served raw, it’s important to purchase high-quality scallops. Many store-bought options are soaked in a phosphate solution that plumps them up with water (therefore bumping up the price), so it’s worth seeking out scallops that are labeled “dry” or “dry-packed" for more pure flavor.
