Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 1 1/4-pound live lobsters
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon Champagne vinegar
1 tablespoon lime juice, plus 1/2 lime for squeezing
1 teaspoon cumin seeds, toasted and ground
1/2 teaspoon coriander seeds, toasted and ground
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Sea salt
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 handfuls watercress, stems removed
4 cups curly leaf lettuce, in pieces
1 cup thinly sliced hearts of palm
1 ripe avocado, thinly sliced
1/2 lemon, for squeezing

Steps:

  • Put 3/4-inch water in a stockpot, cover, and bring to a boil. Place one lobster in pot, and cover. When it begins to steam (about 30 seconds), cook for 10 minutes. Remove lobster, and let cool; repeat with second lobster. Reserve cooking juices. Remove tail meat, leg meat and claws from shells, and cut in 1/8-inch slices.
  • Whisk together mustard, vinegar, lime juice, cumin, coriander and red pepper flakes. Season with salt. Gradually whisk in olive oil until thickened, then whisk in one tablespoon lobster juices.
  • On large platter, arrange greens, hearts of palm and avocado. Lay lobster slices in overlapping rows. Sprinkle with lime and lemon juice, then pour vinaigrette on top. Serve.

I wasn't a huge fan of the dressing. I think I'll try a different dressing next time.

I had some trouble finding hearts of palm, but I was able to find them at my local grocery store.

I'm not a huge fan of lobster, but I really enjoyed this salad. The avocado and hearts of palm helped to balance out the flavor of the lobster.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover lobster. I had some leftover from a lobster boil and this salad was the perfect way to use it up.
