Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

Ingredients

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon chopped shallots
3 tablespoons grapefruit vinegar* (recommended: "O")
1 lime, juiced
3 tablespoons grapefruit oil* (recommended: "O")
3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons chopped parsley leaves
2 tablespoons thinly sliced basil or mint leaves
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 avocados
Juice of 1/2 a lime
4 lobster tails
Melted butter, for basting
2 red bell peppers, diced
1 jicama, diced
1 Maui onion, diced
2 heads butter lettuce
1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted
1 Maui onion, very thinly sliced
1 pint grape tomatoes, or sweet 100 tomatoes or pear tomatoes

Steps:

In a medium bowl, whisk the mustard, shallots, vinegar and lime juice. Slowly whisk in the grapefruit oil and the extra-virgin olive oil. Do not worry if the dressing is not perfectly emulsified. Stir in the herbs, salt and pepper. Set the vinaigrette aside.
Bring a large pot of salted water to boil.
Preheat grill to high or preheat the broiler.
Cut the avocado in half lengthwise. With a spoon carefully remove the avocado meat. Reserve the shells. Cut the avocado into 1/3-inch dice and place in a mixing bowl. Add lime juice and cover closely with plastic wrap.
Remove the lobster meat from tail and parboil for 1 minute or until no longer translucent. Place lobster meat on the grill basting with butter just long enough to get a little grill flavor (about 1 minute per side). If cooking indoors, broil until lightly golden.
Remove lobster from the grill and dice into approximately the same sized cubes as the avocado.
In a large bowl, gently mix the avocado, lobster, red bell pepper, jicama and onion. Drizzle in half of the vinaigrette and carefully stir to mix evenly. Taste for seasoning and add more dressing or salt or pepper, as needed. Generously stuff the avocado shells. This can be prepared a few hours in advance and refrigerated.
Place a bed of butter lettuce on chilled salad plates and place avocado half in center of plate. Scatter the lettuce with pine nuts, onion and tomatoes. Drizzle remaining vinaigrette over salad. Serve immediately.

Time 45m

Yield Four to six servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

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
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh basil
1 tablespoon imported mustard
1/4 cup white-wine vinegar
2 tablespoons finely chopped shallots
Salt to taste, if desired
Freshly ground pepper to taste
1 hard-cooked egg, finely chopped
1/2 cup peanut, vegetable or corn oil
1/2 cup olive oil

Steps:

Bring enough water to the boil to cover the lobsters when added. Add the lobsters and salt and cover. When the water returns to the boil, let the lobsters simmer 12 minutes. Let stand five to 10 minutes and drain the lobsters well.
Meanwhile, cut away and discard the core of the lettuce. Cut the leaves lengthwise into quarters. Cut the leaves crosswise into very fine shreds. There should be about six to seven cups.
Remove the meat from the lobster shells. Cut the meat into bite-size pieces. There should be about four cups.
Put the lettuce in a salad bowl. Arrange the lobster pieces on top and add the green onions or scallions. Toss lightly.
Cut the avocados in half lengthwise. Discard the pits. Peel the halves. Cut each half lengthwise into thin strips. Sprinkle with lemon juice.
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.
Serve the salad and salad dressing separately if desired. Or toss the salad with the dressing.

Tips:

Choose the freshest ingredients possible. This will ensure that your salad is flavorful and delicious.

Make the avocado relish ahead of time. This will allow the flavors to develop.
Serve the salad immediately. This will prevent the avocado from browning.
