Louis Salad is typically made with Shrimp or Crab Meat, but it translates beautifully to Lobster.
In two large bowls, layer:
Shredded Iceberg Lettuce
Hard boiled Eggs, cut into wedges
Tomatoes, cut into wedges
1 Avocado, diced
We added blanched Sweet Peas from our garden, but you can use Asparagus Spears instead
Sprinkle salads with minced Chives and 1 teaspoon Capers
Poached Lobster Tails
In a shallow skillet, over medium heat, poach 2 Lobster Tails Lobster for 8 minutes in:1 cup White Wine
2 cups Seafood Broth
1/2 teaspoon Sunny Spain Seasoning
Remove Lobster Tails from poaching liquid and cut Lobster Tails along the underside of the tail with cooking shears and remove the meat.
John usually makes this from scratch, but we found this pre-made dressing from Paladini and decided to try it. And, it was pretty good - and made our weeknight dinner easy to prepare.
Enjoy!

What a deliciously decadent salad with that gorgeous lobster!
ReplyDeleteSuch a green and vibrant salad :-)
ReplyDeleteSusan, I am drooling just thinking about this wonderful salad! Love the hang gliders too! So fun.
ReplyDeleteOMG ... Did you know tomorrow is national lobster day? I've been wracking my brain trying to come up with something :-)
ReplyDeletePerfect for a summer dinner :)
ReplyDeleteI just saw this fabulous photo of two huge lobsters in Saveur Magazine. It was taken by Penny de los Santos (who I like to follow). I can't get lobster off of my mind now. At our Asian grocery store I see huge lobsters there and I am trying to work up my nerve to tackle them and make a grilled lobster dish. Your salad is tempting me even more!
ReplyDeleteSusan...you have no idea how much I've been craving lobster, lately! This salad looks amazing! : )
ReplyDeleteLobster Louis Salad - in the middle of the work week???? Shouldn't that be illegal? Did you pop open a nice bottle of wine and have a glass? You didn't say. I like that you will try ready-made (the dressing) if it's just as good. Anything to save a few minutes after a long, tiring day. This looked delicious, by the way.
