Preparation

  1. Step 1

    To make the vinaigrette, combine the mustard and half of the lemon juice in a small bowl. Beat briskly until the mixture begins to thicken. Gradually add the olive oil, the remaining lemon juice and the vinegar while continuing to beat. Add the remaining ingredients and mix well.

  2. Step 2

    To make the salad, tear the lettuces and endive into bite-sized pieces and mix them with the orange sections in a large bowl. Pour two-thirds of the dressing over the salad and toss well. Divide the salad into four portions and arrange on serving plates.

  3. Step 3

    Coat the bottom of a nonstick pan with the vegetable oil. Over high heat, saute the scallops for one minute while shaking the pan. Add the tuna and shallots. Salt and pepper well. Toss briskly and cover. Cook for another minute, shaking the pan occasionally. Remove the pan from the heat and let the seafood cool, uncovered, for two to three minutes. Drizzle the remaining vinaigrette over the tuna and scallops and distribute among the four plates.
