Number Of Ingredients 15

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

Freshly ground pepper to taste
1 hard-cooked egg, finely chopped
1/2 cup peanut, vegetable or corn oil

  • 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.

Time 40m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

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

1/4 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.

FLORIDA LOBSTER SALAD WITH AVOCADO, PAPAYA, AND JADE DRESSING



Florida Lobster Salad with Avocado, Papaya, and Jade Dressing image

This mix of lobster, avocado, and papaya is a luxurious alternative to your everyday salad. It's sweet and creamy, perfect in the summer on a hot day. With the exception of cutting the avocado, all of the ingredients for the salad can be prepared ahead of time. Then, assembling the salad becomes a quickie. Leftover jade dressing will keep covered in the refrigerator for up to two days and is fantastic with grilled lamb chops.

Yield serves 4 as a main dish or 6 as a starter

Number Of Ingredients 20

Two 3/4-pound spiny lobster tails, preferably fresh
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 shallot, halved
1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
1 bay leaf
2 bunches watercress, stems trimmed
1 cup 1/2-inch diced ripe avocado (see Note, page 52)
1 cup papaya chunks
1/4 cup Jade Dressing (recipe follows)
1/4 cup pickled red onions (page 235), drained
1/4 cup macadamia nuts, toasted (see Note, page 54) and coarsely chopped
1 large egg yolk (see Note)
1/4 cup rice vinegar
1/2 cup canola oil
1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves
1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves
1/2 shallot, coarsely chopped
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • To cook the lobster tails, fill a medium pot three-quarters of the way with water. Add 1 tablespoon salt, the shallot, Old Bay, and bay leaf; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Carefully put the lobster tails into the boiling water and cook until the shells turn orange, 5 minutes. Using tongs, remove the tails from the pot and put them on a cutting board to cool.
  • Turn the lobster tails with the underside (the soft shell side) facing up. With kitchen scissors, cut lengthwise down the center of the shell and pull out the meat. Cut the lobster meat into 1/2-inch chunks. Transfer to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the watercress, avocado, and papaya. Drizzle with the dressing, tossing with your hands to dress the salad lightly and evenly. Season with salt and pepper. Divide the salad equally among 4 large chilled plates. Top with the pickled onions, lobster chunks, and nuts.
  • Combine all the ingredients in a blender. Puree on high speed until thick and creamy and the color of jade, roughly 1 minute.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, high-quality seafood: The quality of your seafood will make or break your salad, so be sure to choose the freshest, highest-quality seafood you can find. Look for lobster that is bright red and firm to the touch, and avoid any seafood that smells fishy or off.
  • Cook your seafood properly: Overcooked seafood is tough and chewy, so be careful not to overcook your lobster. The best way to cook lobster is to boil it in a pot of salted water for 8-10 minutes per pound, or until the meat is cooked through.
  • Chill your seafood before serving: Once your seafood is cooked, chill it thoroughly before serving. This will help the salad to stay fresh and flavorful.
  • Use fresh, ripe produce: The freshest, ripest produce will give your salad the best flavor. Look for avocados that are ripe but not too soft, and papayas that are sweet and juicy.
  • Don't overdress your salad: A little dressing goes a long way, so be careful not to overdress your salad. The best way to dress your salad is to drizzle it with a light vinaigrette or citrus dressing.

Conclusion:

Grilled Lobster Salad with Avocado and Papaya is a delicious, refreshing, and healthy salad that is perfect for a summer meal. The combination of sweet lobster, creamy avocado, and juicy papaya is simply irresistible. This salad is also very easy to make, and it can be prepared in just a few minutes.
