Lobster, Mango, and Avocado Salad
- Two 1 1/4- to 1 1/2-pound live spiny lobsters or Maine lobsters
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 teaspoons finely chopped scallion (white and pale green parts only)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 2 ruby-red grapefruits
- 2 firm but ripe avocados, halved, pitted, peeled, and diced
- 1 mango, peeled, pitted, and diced
- 4 cups mixed mesclun salad greens
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 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.
