Number Of Ingredients 8

4 firm, fresh heads Belgium endive
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
2 one-and-a-half pound live lobsters
1 tablespoon snipped chives
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill, plus more for garnish
1/4 cup Homemade Mayonnaise Homemade Mayonnaise, or prepared
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 ribs celery, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Cut 1/2 inch off the bottom (root end) of each head of endive. Separate the leaves, and set aside 24. Trim the leaves to measure about 4 inches in length. The leaves may be kept, in a single layer under a damp paper towel, in the refrigerator for up to 4 hours.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil; add salt. Plunge lobsters in headfirst. Cover, allow water to return to a simmer, and cook for 6 minutes. Remove pot from heat. Leave lobsters in hot water for 3 more minutes. Remove lobsters, and let cool. Split lobsters lengthwise, and crack claws, allowing water to drain. Remove meat from shells, and cut into large chunks.
  • In a medium bowl, combine chives and dill with mayonnaise, lemon juice, and pepper to taste. Add celery and lobster meat, and mix well.
  • Place a tablespoon of the lobster salad on the base of each endive petal. Garnish with a sprig of chive, and serve.

This salad is not worth the effort. It's time-consuming to make and the results are not that great.

The lobster was overcooked and the dressing was too heavy. I was disappointed with this salad.

I found the salad to be a bit bland. I think it needed more seasoning.
