Steps:
- Plunge lobster headfirst into an 8-quart pot of boiling salted water . Cook, covered, over high heat 6 minutes (for 1 1/4-lb lobster) or 7 minutes (for 1 1/2-lb lobster) from time it enters water. Transfer with tongs to sink to drain.
- When lobster is cool enough to handle, remove meat from tail and claws, keeping meat intact. Discard tomalley, any roe, and shells. Chill lobster, covered, until cold, at least 1 hour.
- While lobster chills, stir together shallot, lemon juice, and table salt in a small bowl and let stand at room temperature 30 minutes. Add oil in a stream, whisking.
- Cut peel, including all white pith, from grapefruit with a sharp knife. Cut segments free from membranes and transfer segments to paper towels to drain.
- Halve avocado lengthwise, discarding pit. (Save 1 half, wrapped tightly in plastic wrap, for another use.) Halve remaining avocado half lengthwise and peel, then cut crosswise into 1/3-inch-thick slices.
- Cut lobster tail meat crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Divide avocado and all of lobster meat between 2 salad plates and arrange grapefruit around them. Top with arugula and drizzle with dressing. Sprinkle lightly with sea salt (if using) and serve immediately.
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:
- 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.
LOBSTER AVOCADO AND GRAPEFRUIT SALAD
Gourmet. Jan 04. If you don't want to cook a live lobster for this recipe, buy 2/3 pound cooked lobster meat from your seafood shop. Fresh crab would be nice in this too.

Steps:
- Place the mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Slowly whisk in the olive oil until the vinaigrette is emulsified.
- Before serving, cut the avocados in 1/2, remove the seeds, and carefully peel off the skin. Cut each half into 4 thick slices. Toss the avocado slices in the vinaigrette to prevent them from turning brown. Use a large, sharp knife to slice the peel off the grapefruits (be sure to remove all the white pith), then cut between the membranes to release the grapefruit segments.
- Arrange the avocado slices around the edge of a large platter. Arrange the grapefruit segments in the center. Spoon the vinaigrette on top, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and serve.
LOBSTER AND GRAPEFRUIT SALAD
Steps:
- Boil a very large pot of water. Salt it and add the lobsters head first. Put the lid on the pot and boil until bright red and cooked, about 12 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water.
- While the lobster is cooking, peel the grapefruits to the quick, cutting first the top and bottom off, then cutting the skin off around them, removing all the pith. Cut the grapefruit sections with a knife into a large bowl to catch the juice, and squeeze the remaining juice out of the membrane into the bowl as well.
- To remove the lobster meat, twist off the claws. Use the back of a chef's knife to crack both sides of the claws. Pull off the shell and reserve the meat. Use a pick to pull the meat out of the tube-like limbs attached to the claws. Now, twist the tails off the bodies. Lay them flat on their side and press down to crack the center. Pull out the meat. Discard the bodies and shells, or use them to make lobster bisque.
- Chop the lobster meat into large chunks for the salad and add it to the grapefruit. Cut the avocado and add it to the bowl, along with a generous squeeze of lemon to keep its color. Chop the green onions, including the green parts, and add along with the parsley leaves. Add the oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Toss. Taste, adjusting the seasonings (and adding a little lemon zest if you like) and serve.
AVOCADO AND GRAPEFRUIT SALAD WITH POMEGRANATES AND PISTACHIOS
It's the tanginess of the grapefruit next to the creaminess of the avocado that makes this combination such a classic, but there's no need to be limited to grapefruit. Give other citrus a try as well. Adapted from Deborah Madison.

Steps:
- Toss the onion rings with the vinegar and set them aside in the refrigerator.
- Wash salad mix, spin dry, then wrap in a towel and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Cut the pomegranate into quarters, then break out about 1/2 cup of the seeds. Working in the sink, gently squeeze a tablespoon or so of juice from the remaining pomegranate and set it aside.
- Peel and section the grapefruits.
- Neatly peel and thinly slice the kiwi.
- Peel and cut the avocados into neat chunks.
- To make the dressing, combine the zest, 1/4 cup tangelo juice plus 1 tablespoon pomegranate juice, and 1/4 teaspoon salt, then whisk in the oil.
- Loosely arrange the salad greens on a plate with the grapefruit sections (minus their juice).
- Add the kiwi, avocado, and onions, which will be pickled by now, then pour the dressing over all.
- Season with pepper and garnish with the pistachio nuts.
LOBSTER, MANGO, AND AVOCADO SALAD
Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the lobsters and boil for 7 minutes, or until cooked through. Drain the lobsters and let them cool completely. When the lobsters are cool enough to handle, remove the meat from the tail (and from the claws if using Maine lobsters), keeping the meat intact. Discard the tomalley, any roe, and shells. Chill the lobster, covered, until cold, at least 1 hour.
- Chop the lobster into bite-size pieces. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, scallions, and lime juice; set the dressing aside.
- Using a sharp knife, remove the peel and white pith from each grapefruit. Working over a small bowl, cut between the membranes to release the grapefruit segments, letting the juice and segments fall into the bowl. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the segments to a large bowl. Add the lobster, avocados, mango, and mesclun greens.
- Whisk the reserved grapefruit juice into the scallion dressing, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Gently toss the salad with dressing to coat. Serve.
