Lobster and Lemon-Orange Salad
- Two 1 1/2-pound live lobsters
- 2 navel oranges
- 1small lemon
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 4 cups arugula leaves, torn into bite-size pieces
- 6 chives, cut into 3-inch lengths
- 1 tablespoon flat-leaf parsley leaves
- In a large pot of boiling water, cook the lobsters until they turn bright red all over, about 8 minutes.
- Drain and let cool slightly.
- Twist off the tails and claws.
- Crack the claws and remove the meat, keeping it whole.
- Using kitchen scissors, slit the tail shells lengthwise and remove the black veins; thinly slice the tail meat.
- Cover and refrigerate the lobster.
- Using a small, sharp knife, peel the oranges and lemon; be sure to remove all of the bitter white pith.
- Working over a bowl, cut in between the membranes to release the orange and lemon sections into the bowl, then transfer the sections to a plate.
- Squeeze the juice from the orange and lemon membranes into the bowl, measuring as you go.
- You should have 2 tablespoons of orange juice and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice.
- Add the olive oil to the citrus juices and season with salt and pepper.
- Arrange the arugula on 6 salad plates and top with the lobster and the orange and lemon sections.
- Scatter the chives and parsley over the salads, drizzle with the dressing and serve.
