Steps:
- To make the sauce, warm the lemon juice in a small saucepan. Add the butter, a few cubes at a time, swirling them into the lemon juice over a very low heat to melt them, adding a few more pieces until all the butter is used. Take the sauce off the heat, season to taste and keep warm.
- To make the salad, gently toss the rocket, avocado and lobster meat together. Dress with the lemon juice and olive oil, and toss again until everything is mixed and coated.
- To serve, stir the herbs through the sauce and pour into a ramekin or small bowl. Put the sauce on a plate and pile the large chunks of lobster meat on one side and the salad on the other. Bring the plate to the table to share - dip the tail meat, claws and crusty bread into the sauce.

Steps:
- 1. Fill a large pot with 2 inches of salted water. Insert a steaming rack so that the lobster will not touch the water. Cover and bring to a boil. Add lobster and cover; cook 10 to 12 minutes. Remove to a platter and refrigerate to cool, about 30 minutes.
- 2. Meanwhile, in a stainless steel bowl combine egg yolk and water. Whisk to combine. Add oil in a slow, steady stream until the dressing is emulsified and thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Add half of the verbena and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside for 10 minutes to let flavors combine.
- 3. Once cooled, remove lobster meat from shell, leaving claw and tail meat intact. Using a chef's knife, slice tail meat into pieces 1/2 inch thick. Transfer claws and tail meat to a medium bowl. Add 2 tablespoons dressing and tomato strips. Toss to coat.
- 4. Place greens in a medium bowl. Drizzle olive oil them and season with salt. Toss to lightly coat. Place 1 cup tossed greens in the center of each plate. Divide tail meat and claws. Drizzle 1 tablespoon dressing on each plate around lobster. Garnish each plate with radish and remaining verbena. Serve immediately. (Remaining dressing should be stored, tightly covered, in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.)
- Raw eggs should not be used in food prepared for pregnant women, babies, young children, the elderly, or anyone whose health is compromised.
Tips:
- For the freshest lobster salad, use live lobster if possible. Otherwise, opt for high-quality frozen lobster meat.
- Be sure to cook the lobster properly. Overcooked lobster will be tough and rubbery.
- Use a variety of fresh, flavorful ingredients in your salad. This could include vegetables like celery, red onion, and cucumber; herbs like chives, dill, and parsley; and fruits like lemon and grapefruit.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different dressings. A simple vinaigrette is always a good option, but you could also try a creamy dressing or a citrus-based dressing.
- Serve the lobster salad immediately or chill it for a few hours before serving. It will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
Lobster salad is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, main course, or even a light lunch. With its fresh, flavorful ingredients and creamy dressing, it's sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering. So next time you're looking for a seafood dish that's both impressive and delicious, give lobster salad a try – you won't be disappointed!
