Lobster Salad with Bibb Lettuce, Apple, and Tarragon Dressing
July 16, 2020
I wanted to make something "fancy" for dinner. The rich lobster, tart Granny Smith apples and creamy tarragon salad dressing on a bed of butter lettuce definitely added an air of elegance to my table. I will definitely make this again and probably use shrimp, due to my diminishing budget these days!
- Yields: 4 Servings
Ingredients
2 large shallots, thinly sliced
2 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
½ pound fresh cook lobster meat, torn into bite-sized pieces; lump crabmeat picked over for cartilage and shell fragments; or peeled shrimp
2 tablespoon fresh tarragon leaves, finely chopped
1 head butter (Bibb) lettuce, cored and separated into leaves
Directions
1Core and quarter the apple, then cut the quarters lengthwise into slices about ⅛-inch thick. Put in a small bowl, toss with the lemon juice, and set aside.
2In another small bowl, toss the shallots with the olive oil, vinegar, and ½ teaspoon salt and let stand at room temperature for 10 minutes.
3In a large bowl, toss the lobster meat with the yogurt. Add the apple and shallots, along with any liquid left in the bowls, and the tarragon and toss gently to mix. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Add the lettuce and toss to mix.
4To serve, arrange the salad on individual plates, dividing it evenly. Finish with a few grinds of black pepper. Serve right away.
