- 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.

GRILLED LOBSTER AND AVOCADO SALAD
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.

- 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.

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.
