We've had our way with tomatoes: We've baked them, pureed them and stuffed them senseless. But this time of year, when farm stands and grocery store shelves are bursting with the sweetest summer produce, we decided to go easy on the vine-ripened beauties and enjoy them au naturel: raw, red and juicy. So we tossed them with some seared scallops and a creamy dab of butter for a hearty but light supper.
