Instructions
- In a large saucepan, combine the white wine, tarragon, and oregano; bring to a boil over high heat. Add the clams; cover and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, or until the clams open (start checking after 3 minutes). Remove the clams as they open (discard any that do not open); reserve the liquid in the pan. When the clams are cool enough to handle, remove the clam meat and place in a large bowl; discard the shells.
- Heat the liquid in the pan over medium-low heat. Add the shrimp, and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, or until cooked through. With a slotted spoon, remove the shrimp, reserving the liquid in the pan. When the shrimp are cool enough to handle, halve them horizontally and add to the bowl with the clams.
- Heat the liquid in the pan over medium-low heat. Add the scallops, and cook for 2 minutes, or until cooked through. With a slotted spoon, transfer the scallops to the bowl, reserving the liquid in the pan. Cool the shellfish cooking liquid to room temperature and measure out 1/2 cup.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the 1/2 cup reserved cooking liquid, the lemon juice, oil, and mustard. Pour the dressing over the shellfish. Add the celery, bell peppers, and parsley; toss to combine. Chill the salad until serving time.
