Salad Of Smoked Chicken And Lobster With A Walnut Oil Dressing Recipes

Steps:

• Combine white balsamic vinegar, walnut oil, sugar, and salt in a cup and mix well. Stir in cream and mix well. Add to a salad of your choice and sprinkle with ground walnuts.

Steps:

• Toss together the cucumber, scallions, curly endive or chicory, julienned tomatoes, lemon rind, chicken breast and lobster tail with the walnut-oil dressing. Sprinkle with salt and white pepper to taste. Divide among four small salad plates.
• Arrange the pieces of pear around the plates. Dip the corn-salad leaves in dressing. Arrange the salad leaves and equal portions of the diced tomatoes symmetrically between the pear pieces.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the celery, onion, thyme, vinegar, and black pepper and boil for 10 minutes. Add the lobsters, cover, and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes, until shells are bright red and lobster is cooked through. Remove the lobsters from the water and immediately shock in ice water to stop the cooking. Shell the tail and the claws and cut the meat into 1/2-inch chunks. Reserve.
• Cook the bacon until crisp. Drain on a paper towel lined plate and set aside.
• Separate the egg whites from the yolks. Pass each separately through a medium strainer or food mill. Reserve.
• Blanch the haricots verts in a small saucepan of salted boiling water for 1 minute. Drain and shock in ice water. Drain well and set aside.
• Peel avocados, discard seeds, and cut into 1/2-inch chunks. Place in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Reserve.
• In a mixing bowl, add the romaine and season with salt and pepper. Add 1/3 cup of the dressing and toss. Divide into 4 serving plates. Arrange the toppings in strips on top of the salad mix, starting on 1 end with the bacon, haricots verts, egg yolk, lobster, egg white, tomato, and avocado. Sprinkle the cheese all over the top. Serve the remaining dressing on the side.
• Combine shallot, Dijon, and vinegars in a large bowl and whisk well. While whisking, slowly drizzle in the oils until it is incorporated into the dressing. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Remove skin and fat from chicken and cut into bitesize strips or chunks and set in mixing bowl. Cut endive into 1/2inch cross sections. Boil or steam haricots verts for 4 to 5 minutes or until just tender. Drain and refresh under cold water; pat dry. Cut them on bias into 2 inch lengths.
• In a small mixing bowl combine rice vinegar, mustard, vegetable oil and walnut oil; adjust flavors and season with salt and pepper. Toss dressing with chicken, endive and green beans. Season to taste with salt and pepper and garnish with scallions and crumbled blue or goat's cheese. Serve with corn bread.
