• MAKE THE AVOCADO DRESSING:.
• In a medium bowl, combine the avocado with the tomato, red onion, cilantro, chili and garlic.
• Fold in the lime juice and olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
• Using a slotted spoon, divide the scallops, scallions and red bell pepper evenly among 6 shallow soup plates.
• Spoon the avocado dressing on the ceviche and pour a little of the marinade all around.
• Serve immediately.
• **Though beer is the obvious choice with ceviche, the sweet scallops and sharp citrus flavors will find echoes in a crisp lime-scented Australian Riesling from the Clare Valley. Look for the 1998 Pikes or the 1998 Petaluma. Search for easy-to-find bright, citrusy Riesling.
