Carefully place each scallop in the pan with scallop's flat side down. Cook for 1 1/2 minutes per side flipping them once.

In a small bowl whisk together the vinegar, mayonnaise, mustard, salt, pepper & garlic, slowly whisk in the olive oil in a stream. Combine the mixed greens and bell peppers in a large bowl. When the scallops are done, toss the dressing with the greens. Arrange the scallops on top of the salad. Serves 2
