LOBSTER AND AVOCADO SALAD
This recipe, from Craig Claiborne with Pierre Franey, brings together two scrumptious delights, the lobster and the avocado. The creaminess of the avocado complements the sweetness of the lobster. The combination is perfect for a light summer supper or lunch. It's great for a special occasion, but can also be a treat just for you.

Steps:
- Bring enough water to the boil to cover the lobsters when added. Add the lobsters and salt and cover. When the water returns to the boil, let the lobsters simmer 12 minutes. Let stand five to 10 minutes and drain the lobsters well.
- Meanwhile, cut away and discard the core of the lettuce. Cut the leaves lengthwise into quarters. Cut the leaves crosswise into very fine shreds. There should be about six to seven cups.
- Remove the meat from the lobster shells. Cut the meat into bite-size pieces. There should be about four cups.
- Put the lettuce in a salad bowl. Arrange the lobster pieces on top and add the green onions or scallions. Toss lightly.
- 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.
- Serve the salad and salad dressing separately if desired. Or toss the salad with the dressing.

Steps:
- To cook the lobster tails, fill a medium pot three-quarters of the way with water. Add 1 tablespoon salt, the shallot, Old Bay, and bay leaf; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Carefully put the lobster tails into the boiling water and cook until the shells turn orange, 5 minutes. Using tongs, remove the tails from the pot and put them on a cutting board to cool.
- Turn the lobster tails with the underside (the soft shell side) facing up. With kitchen scissors, cut lengthwise down the center of the shell and pull out the meat. Cut the lobster meat into 1/2-inch chunks. Transfer to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the watercress, avocado, and papaya. Drizzle with the dressing, tossing with your hands to dress the salad lightly and evenly. Season with salt and pepper. Divide the salad equally among 4 large chilled plates. Top with the pickled onions, lobster chunks, and nuts.
- Combine all the ingredients in a blender. Puree on high speed until thick and creamy and the color of jade, roughly 1 minute.
