Whole-grain mustard — 1 tablespoon
Red Wine Vinegar — 2 tablespoons
Peanut Oil — 3 tablespoons
Walnut Oil — 3 tablespoons
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Salad
Belgian Endives — 2, cored, leaves cut into 1/16-inch julienne
Tomato — 2 tablespoons, finely diced peeled
Chives — 2 teaspoons, minced fresh
Cilantro — 1 teaspoon, minced fresh
Sesame seeds — 1 teaspoon, toasted
Olive Oil — 2 tablespoons
Lemon Juice — juice of 1 lemon
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Whisk the mustard and vinegar together in a small nonaluminum bowl. Slowly whisk in the oils. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
In a medium bowl, toss the julienned endive with the tomato, chives, cilantro, sesame seeds, olive oil, and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper. Heat a medium nonstick saute pan or skillet over high heat. Season the scallops with salt and pepper and sear for 1 to 2 minutes on each side, until browned on the ends and opaque throughout.
Place a bed of seaweed on each of 4 serving plates and place a scallop shell in the center. Divide the mustard vinaigrette among the shells and top with a seared scallop. Divide the endive mixture over the scallops.
