I love scallops but some how hardly make them at home, always scared of over-cooking them...

Yummy, I adore scallops! They're so good with citrus.
My first meal of 2012 was eggs (breakfast), followed by sushi. Not such a good start with the home coking. ;)

Looks like another delicious salad. I never thought of adding scallops to a salad before. Since you made the photo comment, I must respond. I love the framing of your photos and food arrangement, but the focus always seems to be a tiny bit off.
