Perfect Summer Lobster Salad

Serves 2

This delicious salad is such a treat for the perfect summer night meal!

Ingredients:

  • 4-5 cups baby or any mixed lettuces that you like 
  • 2 cups cauliflower florets
  • 1-2 radishes thinly sliced
  • ¼ red onion thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • ¼ cup celery thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons chopped basil
  • 1 avocado cubed
  • 1/3 cup pumpkin seeds
  • 10-15 grape or cherry tomatoes cut in half
  • ¼-½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2-3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • ½ - 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • Cashew cream (optional)
  • 2 1-1/2 lb. steamed lobster meat (I get mine from my local farmers market or local seafood shop).  If you are adventurous, feel free to boil the lobsters’ yourself!)

Preparation:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Toss the cauliflower in a little bit of olive oil, salt and pepper and roast at 375 degrees for about 10 minutes – just enough time for the veggies to get that yummy roasted flavor.   
  • Combine lettuce, radish, onion, avocado, pumpkin seeds, and tomatoes in a large bowl.
  • In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, celery, basil, salt and pepper
  • Toss the salad with the dressing, plate the salad and mound the lobster (served warm or chilled) on top.  Finish by drizzling with cashew cream. (optional)
  • Enjoy!
