Directions: In a small mixing bowl combine extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste. Whisk ingredients together to make the dressing. Set
aside. Heat a large sauté pan and coat with olive oil; sauté endive leaves until golden in color. Remove from pan and arrange 5 leaves on each plate in a star pattern. Clean pan with a towel. Heat and coat pan again
with olive oil. Add scallops and sauté on both sides until a crisp golden brown. Add a pinch of salt and pepper. Remove from pan and place scallops on each plate, 4 in the center of the star of endive leaves and 1
on top. Keep warm. Pour dressing lightly over the scallops (1 1/2 tablespoons per serving) and drizzle over the leaves. Sprinkle fresh chopped chives and diced tomatoes over entire presentation and serve
immediately. Servings: 2.
