Categories     Shellfish

Yield 4 Main courses

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 lobsters - (1 1/4 lbs ea)
2 ruby-red or pink grapefruits
1 tbl finely-minced shallots
1 1/4 tsp Dijon mustard
2 tbl white wine vinegar
1 tbl chopped fresh lemon or regular basil
Basil leaves for garnish
Coarse salt to taste
Freshly-ground black pepper to taste
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 x avocados peeled, pitted
4 x palm hearts cut 1/2" rounds
1 lrg Boston lettuce head - (8-oz) well washed, dried

Steps:

  • Fill a large bowl with ice and water; set aside. Bring two inches of water to a boil in a large stockpot. Steam lobsters for 10 minutes; transfer to ice bath to cool. Break off claws and tails; use bodies to make a stock, or discard. Split tail lengthwise with a sharp knife; remove meat. Slice tail into bite-size pieces. Remove claws from shells, keeping whole if possible. Chill lobster meat in the refrigerator. Supreme the grapefruit: Cut ends off grapefruit; remove peel, pith, and outer membranes. Lift sections away from the membranes, and reserve. Squeeze 1/2 cup juice from membranes into a bowl for dressing. Place shallots, mustard, vinegar, juice, and lemon basil in a bowl; season with salt and pepper. Whisk to combine. Gradually whisk in olive oil; adjust seasoning. Cut avocados into 1/2-inch-thick wedges; coat with a little grapefruit juice to prevent discoloration. In a large bowl, combine avocado, lobster, grapefruit, and hearts of palm. Line individual glass serving dishes with lettuce leaves. Tear remaining lettuce into bite-size pieces; add to lobster mixture. Drizzle salad with dressing; toss. Fill lettuce leaves with salad; garnish with lemon basil, and serve immediately.

I'm not a big fan of grapefruit, but I really enjoyed this salad. The grapefruit adds a nice tartness that balances out the richness of the lobster and avocado. I also like the addition of hearts of palm, which add a nice crunch. Overall, this is a g

This salad is a great way to use up leftover lobster. It's also a great make-ahead salad, so it's perfect for busy weeknights. I like to serve it with a side of crusty bread or crackers.

This salad was disappointing. The lobster was tough and the grapefruit was too sour. I also found the dressing to be too oily. I will not be making this salad again.

I thought this salad was just okay. I found the dressing to be a bit bland and the lobster was a bit chewy. I think I would have enjoyed the salad more if I had used a different dressing and cooked the lobster a little less.

This lobster salad was a bit too tangy for my taste, but I think that's because I used too much grapefruit. Next time, I'll use less grapefruit and more avocado. Otherwise, the salad was very good and I enjoyed the combination of flavors.
