LOBSTER SALAD WITH GRAPEFRUIT, AVOCADO AND HEARTS OF PALM
Steps:
- Fill a large bowl with ice and water; set aside. Bring two inches of water to a boil in a large stockpot. Steam lobsters for 10 minutes; transfer to ice bath to cool. Break off claws and tails; use bodies to make a stock, or discard. Split tail lengthwise with a sharp knife; remove meat. Slice tail into bite-size pieces. Remove claws from shells, keeping whole if possible. Chill lobster meat in the refrigerator. Supreme the grapefruit: Cut ends off grapefruit; remove peel, pith, and outer membranes. Lift sections away from the membranes, and reserve. Squeeze 1/2 cup juice from membranes into a bowl for dressing. Place shallots, mustard, vinegar, juice, and lemon basil in a bowl; season with salt and pepper. Whisk to combine. Gradually whisk in olive oil; adjust seasoning. Cut avocados into 1/2-inch-thick wedges; coat with a little grapefruit juice to prevent discoloration. In a large bowl, combine avocado, lobster, grapefruit, and hearts of palm. Line individual glass serving dishes with lettuce leaves. Tear remaining lettuce into bite-size pieces; add to lobster mixture. Drizzle salad with dressing; toss. Fill lettuce leaves with salad; garnish with lemon basil, and serve immediately.
Tips:
- Select the freshest ingredients: Use ripe avocados, succulent lobster meat, and juicy grapefruit for the best flavor.
- Prepare the lobster properly: Boil or steam the lobster until it's cooked through, then chill it and remove the meat from the shell.
- Use a sharp knife: This will help you make clean, even cuts of avocado and grapefruit.
- Don't overdress the salad: A light vinaigrette or citrus dressing will allow the natural flavors of the ingredients to shine through.
- Serve the salad immediately: This will prevent the avocado from browning and the grapefruit from becoming bitter.
