Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh marjoram
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (from about 1 lemon)
  • 1 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more to taste
  • 12 ounces sea scallops
  • 12 ounces cleaned squid, bodies only
  • 1 (15-ounce) can white cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
  • 3 ounces arugula leaves (about 6 cups)
  • 2 carrots, peeled and cut into thin strips (approximately 2 inches long)
  • 1/2 yellow bell pepper, cut into thin strips (approximately 2 inches long)
  • 1 large head of radicchio, leaves separated

Method

  • In a small, heavy skillet, heat the oil over a medium flame.
  • Add the garlic and herbs, and saute until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  • Cool to room temperature, then whisk in the lemon juice and 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper.
  • Set the dressing aside.
  • Prepare a charcoal or gas grill for medium-high heat or preheat a ridged grill pan over a medium-high flame.
  • Pat the scallops and squid dry with paper towels, then brush them with 2 tablespoons of the dressing and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper.
  • Thread the scallops onto skewers and grill the scallops and squid until just cooked through, turning once, about 2 minutes per side.
  • Cool completely.
  • Remove the scallops from the skewers and cut the squid crosswise into 1/4-inch-wide rings.
  • In a large bowl, combine the beans, arugula, carrots, and bell pepper.
  • Toss with enough dressing to coat.
  • Season with more salt and pepper to taste.
  • Place 1 large or 2 medium radicchio leaves on each of 4 plates.
  • Spoon the bean salad into the radicchio cups, and top with the scallops and squid.
  • Drizzle the remaining dressing over and serve.
