Steps:
- If sea scallops are used, cut them crosswise in half. If bay scallops are used, leave them whole. The scallops may be cooked in a skillet or, preferably, on a gas- or wood-fired grill. If they are to be cooked on a grill, preheat the grill until it is quite hot. Sprinkle the scallops with salt and pepper. If they are to be cooked on the grill, rub them all over with 1 tablespoon of oil. Set aside.
- To prepare the lettuce, corn salad, watercress and radicchio, pull off and discard any tough stems and blemished leaves. Rinse and drain thoroughly. Put the greens in a bowl.
- Put 3 tablespoons of oil in a mixing bowl, and add the 2 tablespoons vinegar and salt and pepper to taste. Beat thoroughly with a wire whisk. Pour the sauce over the greens and toss.
- If the scallops are to be grilled, put them on the grill, and cook briefly about 1 minute or slightly longer. Cooking times will depend on the size of the scallops. Turn the scallops and cook on the second side 1 minute or longer. If the scallops are to be cooked in a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of oil, and when it is quite hot, add the scallops. Shaking the skillet and stirring, cook for 2 minutes or longer. Do not overcook.
- Place the salad greens in an oval or circular serving dish. Arrange the scallops neatly around the greens. Reserve any leftover oil in the skillet.
- Heat the butter in a small saucepan until it is hazelnut brown. Do not allow it to blacken. Line a saucepan with a small strainer, and strain in the butter. Stir in the remaining 1/2 teaspoon vinegar.
- Add any leftover oil from the skillet and blend. Spoon this sauce over the scallops. If desired, sprinkle with truffle shavings and serve.
