Lobster Avocado and Grapefruit Salad image

Gourmet. Jan 04. If you don't want to cook a live lobster for this recipe, buy 2/3 pound cooked lobster meat from your seafood shop. Fresh crab would be nice in this too.

Provided by dicentra

Categories     Lobster

Time 35m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 live lobster
2 teaspoons finely chopped shallots
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon table salt
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 pink grapefruit
1 firm-ripe california avocado
1 ounce baby arugula (2 cups)
coarse sea salt (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:

  • For the best flavor, use ripe avocados and grapefruit.
  • If you don't have red onion, you can use a white or yellow onion instead.
  • To make a vegan version of the salad, omit the bacon.
  • For a more refreshing salad, chill the avocado and grapefruit before assembling.
  • Serve the salad immediately, or store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours.

Conclusion:

Suzanne's avocado and grapefruit salad is a delicious and refreshing dish that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover avocado and grapefruit. The salad is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. For example, you can add more bacon or cheese if you like, or you can use a different type of dressing. No matter how you make it, this salad is sure to be a hit.
