 We've had this dish at their home in Boston during Thanksgiving week--a gentle lead in to the grand dinner later in the week.  The recipe is in a collection created for WBGH in 2001, called Cooking Around Town.
 Ingredients:Dressing:
 
 1 red onion, peeled
 4 tablespoons olive oil
 1/3 cup cranberry juice
 1/3 cup cider vinegar
 1 cup dried cranberries
 Salt and pepper to taste
 
 Salad:
 
 1 teaspoon olive oil
 1 ½ cups Nantucket scallops
 Salt and pepper to taste
 4 cups arugula
 Directions:Dressing:
 
 Slice red onion very thin; heat saute pan over medium heat.  Add oil and onions to pan, saute for 4 minutes or until onions have turned a golden brown, pour in vinegar and juice.  Let simmer 2 minutes, stir in cranberries and season to taste.  Place dressing in bowl and let cool.
 
 Heat a nonstick large saute pan over high heat; add oil followed immediately by scallops.  Quickly saute both sides for 2 minutes, until scallops turn golden brown.  Season to taste and remove from pan onto large plate.
 
 Place arugula into salad bowl; toss in dressing and place onto 4 salad plates.  Top with scallops and serve immeditately.
