Winter produce at its best and in holiday colors too. You can also toss the salad instead of arranging it if you prefer.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

3 tablespoons coarse sea salt
10 ounces slim haricots verts (green beans), trimmed at both ends and cut into 1/2-inch pieces (2 cups)
1 cup Greek-style yogurt
1 tablespoon imported French mustard
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/4 cup minced fresh chives
1 Granny Smith apple, cored, and cut into 1/4-inch cubes (do not peel)
1 large ripe avocado, halved, pitted, peeled, and cut into 1/4-inch cubes
1 pound (2 cups) cooked lobster meat, cut into bite-sized pieces
Equipment: A 5-quart pasta pot fitted with a colander; 4 chilled large dinner plates

Steps:

1. Prepare a large bowl of ice water.
2. Fill the pasta pot with 3 quarts of water and bring it to a rolling boil over high heat. Add the coarse salt and the beans, and blanch until crisp-tender, 3 to 4 minutes. (Cooking time will vary according to the size and tenderness of the beans.) Immediately remove the colander from the water, letting the water drain from the beans. Plunge the beans into the ice water so they cool down as quickly as possible. (The beans will cool in 1 to 2 minutes. If you leave them longer, they will become soggy and begin to lose flavor.) Drain the beans and wrap them in a thick kitchen towel to dry. (Store the cooked beans in the refrigerator for up to 4 hours.)
3. In a large, shallow bowl, combine the yogurt, mustard, and fine salt and whisk to blend. Taste for seasoning. Add the green beans, chives, apple, avocado, and lobster. Toss to coat. Arrange on the plates and serve.

I adore this salad! For a dinner party, this could be assembled early in the day and drizzle the dressing on just before serving. Toss the avocado and apples in a little lemon juice to prevent oxidation.

LOBSTER SALAD WITH GREEN BEANS, APPLE, AND AVOCADO RECIPE | EPICURIOUS.COM

Lobster Salad with Green Beans, Apple, and Avocado Recipe | Epicurious.com image

I first sampled a version of this light and lively salad as a meal at chef Yves Camdeborde's Le Comptoir in Paris's 6th arrondissement. Yves and I participated in the New York marathon in 2006, and I am sure that the strength gained from this protein-rich salad helped me make it to the finish line! This dish has it all: color (the red bits are lobster roe), crunch, and a light touch imparted by a dressing of yogurt and mustard.

3 tablespoons coarse sea salt
10 ounces slim haricots verts (green beans), trimmed at both ends and cut into 1/2-inch pieces (2 cups)
1 cup Greek-style yogurt
1 tablespoon imported French mustard
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/4 cup minced fresh chives
1 Granny Smith apple, cored, and cut into 1/4-inch cubes (do not peel)
1 large ripe avocado, halved, pitted, peeled, and cut into 1/4-inch cubes
1 pound (2 cups) cooked lobster meat, cut into bite-sized pieces

Prepare a large bowl of ice water.
Fill the pasta pot with 3 quarts of water and bring it to a rolling boil over high heat. Add the coarse salt and the beans, and blanch until crisp-tender, 3 to 4 minutes. (Cooking time will vary according to the size and tenderness of the beans.) Immediately remove the colander from the water, letting the water drain from the beans.

In a large, shallow bowl, combine the yogurt, mustard, and fine salt and whisk to blend. Taste for seasoning. Add the green beans, chives, apple, avocado, and lobster. Toss to coat. Arrange on the plates and serve.
WINE SUGGESTION: A fine Chardonnay is in order here, such as a dependable Burgundy, like the well-priced and well-made Viré Clessé from the Cave de Viré, particularly their Cuvée Les Acacias, with its hints of fresh apples and honey.
