Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb cooked lobster meat
- 1 large ripe mango
- 4 cups mixed salad greens
- 1 large avocado
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 small cucumber
- 3 tbsp fresh lime juice
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp honey
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro
Instructions
Begin by preparing the lobster meat. If using whole cooked lobster, carefully remove the meat from the shell and chop it into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
Peel and dice the ripe mango into small cubes. Try to keep the pieces uniform for even texture in the salad.
Wash and dry the mixed salad greens thoroughly, then arrange them as the base in a large serving bowl or platter.
Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Dice the avocado into chunks and set aside.
Halve the cherry tomatoes. If they are large, quarter them for easier bites.
Peel the cucumber if desired and slice it into thin half-moons. Add the cucumber to the greens.
In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, olive oil, honey, salt, and black pepper until well emulsified to make the dressing.
Gently layer the lobster meat, mango cubes, avocado chunks, cherry tomatoes, and cucumber slices over the greens.
Drizzle the prepared lime dressing evenly over the salad. Top with freshly chopped cilantro for a burst of flavor.
Toss gently before serving to combine all ingredients, or leave it layered for a stunning presentation. Serve immediately and enjoy!
