2 2-pound live lobsters
Salt to taste, if desired
1 pound romaine lettuce
1 cup finely chopped green onions or scallions
2 firm, ripe, unblemished avocados, about 3/4 pound each
Juice of 1/2 lemon

  • Arrange the avocado slices neatly over the salad. Sprinkle with the basil.
  • To make the salad dressing, put the mustard, vinegar, shallots, salt and pepper in a mixing bowl. Add the egg. Blend the oils. Start beating with a wire whisk while gradually adding the oil.

LOBSTER, AVOCADO, AND GRAPEFRUIT SALAD



Lobster, Avocado, and Grapefruit Salad image

Categories     Salad     Low/No Sugar     Grapefruit     Lobster     Avocado     Gourmet

Yield Makes 2 first-course servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (1 1/4- to 1 1/2-lb) live lobster
2 teaspoons finely chopped shallot
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon table salt
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 pink or ruby-red grapefruit
1 firm-ripe California avocado
1 oz baby arugula (2 cups)
Coarse sea salt to taste (optional)

Steps:

  • Plunge lobster headfirst into an 8-quart pot of boiling salted water . Cook, covered, over high heat 6 minutes (for 1 1/4-lb lobster) or 7 minutes (for 1 1/2-lb lobster) from time it enters water. Transfer with tongs to sink to drain.
  • When lobster is cool enough to handle, remove meat from tail and claws, keeping meat intact. Discard tomalley, any roe, and shells. Chill lobster, covered, until cold, at least 1 hour.
  • While lobster chills, stir together shallot, lemon juice, and table salt in a small bowl and let stand at room temperature 30 minutes. Add oil in a stream, whisking.
  • Cut peel, including all white pith, from grapefruit with a sharp knife. Cut segments free from membranes and transfer segments to paper towels to drain.
  • Halve avocado lengthwise, discarding pit. (Save 1 half, wrapped tightly in plastic wrap, for another use.) Halve remaining avocado half lengthwise and peel, then cut crosswise into 1/3-inch-thick slices.
  • Cut lobster tail meat crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Divide avocado and all of lobster meat between 2 salad plates and arrange grapefruit around them. Top with arugula and drizzle with dressing. Sprinkle lightly with sea salt (if using) and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make all the difference in the final dish.
  • Don't overcook the lobster. Lobster is a delicate seafood that can easily become tough and rubbery if overcooked. Cook it just until it is opaque and cooked through.
  • Let the lobster cool completely before adding it to the salad. This will help to prevent the salad from becoming watery.
  • Use a light touch when mixing the salad. Over-mixing can break up the lobster and avocado and make the salad mushy.
  • Serve the salad immediately. Lobster salad is best enjoyed fresh.

Conclusion:

Lobster salad with avocado and hearts of palm is a light, refreshing, and delicious salad that is perfect for a summer lunch or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover lobster. With its simple ingredients and easy preparation, this salad is sure to become a favorite.
