Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 lobsters, weighing 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 pounds each
12 ears of fresh baby corn
2 sweet red peppers
1 sweet yellow peppers
1 hot green poblano chili
1 head of radicchio
3 small heads of oak-leaf lettuce
3 or 4 small heads of other lettuces, such as green leaf, limestone, bibb or baby red
1 bunch of fresh marjoram
3/4 cup of extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons lime juice
12 small Italian plum tomatoes, red and yellow if available, cut in half
1 lime, cut into wedges

Steps:

  • In two inches of water, steam lobsters approximately 12 minutes, until shells turn bright red and antennae can be pulled out with a sharp tug. Drain lobsters immediately, and set aside until cool enough to handle. Shell lobster tails, remove black intestinal vein and slice tail meat into half-inch slices. Shell claws, but leave claw-meat intact. Set lobster meat aside in a cool place.
  • Bring another pan of water to a boil. Shuck baby corn ears, and carefully drop into boiling water. Cook 1 minute, then drain and cool. Set aside.
  • Holding peppers and chili with a long-handled fork, turn them briefly over a high flame. Alternately, place under a broiler, turning when necessary. When skin is blackened and peeling, place in a paper bag for 5 minutes. Rub skin off peppers and cut flesh in julienne strips.
  • Wash all greens and dry carefully.
  • Make dressing in a large bowl: Mix olive oil, 2 tablespoons lime juice and finely chopped marjoram. Turn salad greens in dressing and remove from bowl. Arrange greens on four dinner plates, alternating colors for presentation.
  • Toss corn ears in dressing and remove. Arrange in spokes on greens. Place pepper and chili strips between corn ears.
  • In the center of each plate, place an intact lobster claw, removed from shell. Arrange a quarter of the lobster slices around claw. Garnish with tomato halves and wedges of remaining lime.
  • Pour extra dressing on lobster.

I love the idea of this salad, but I think I'll use less mayonnaise in the dressing next time.

This salad was a bit too heavy for my taste. I think I'll try a lighter dressing next time.

I didn't have any baby corn on hand, so I used edamame instead. It worked out great!

The lobster was a bit overcooked, but the rest of the salad was delicious.

This salad was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I was able to tone it down by using less chili.
