Time 40m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon chopped shallots
3 tablespoons grapefruit vinegar* (recommended: "O")
1 lime, juiced
3 tablespoons grapefruit oil* (recommended: "O")
3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons chopped parsley leaves
2 tablespoons thinly sliced basil or mint leaves
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 avocados
Juice of 1/2 a lime
4 lobster tails
Melted butter, for basting
2 red bell peppers, diced
1 jicama, diced
1 Maui onion, diced
2 heads butter lettuce
1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted
1 Maui onion, very thinly sliced
1 pint grape tomatoes, or sweet 100 tomatoes or pear tomatoes

Steps:

In a medium bowl, whisk the mustard, shallots, vinegar and lime juice. Slowly whisk in the grapefruit oil and the extra-virgin olive oil. Do not worry if the dressing is not perfectly emulsified. Stir in the herbs, salt and pepper. Set the vinaigrette aside.
Bring a large pot of salted water to boil.
Preheat grill to high or preheat the broiler.
Cut the avocado in half lengthwise. With a spoon carefully remove the avocado meat. Reserve the shells. Cut the avocado into 1/3-inch dice and place in a mixing bowl. Add lime juice and cover closely with plastic wrap.
Remove the lobster meat from tail and parboil for 1 minute or until no longer translucent. Place lobster meat on the grill basting with butter just long enough to get a little grill flavor (about 1 minute per side). If cooking indoors, broil until lightly golden.
Remove lobster from the grill and dice into approximately the same sized cubes as the avocado.
In a large bowl, gently mix the avocado, lobster, red bell pepper, jicama and onion. Drizzle in half of the vinaigrette and carefully stir to mix evenly. Taste for seasoning and add more dressing or salt or pepper, as needed. Generously stuff the avocado shells. This can be prepared a few hours in advance and refrigerated.
Place a bed of butter lettuce on chilled salad plates and place avocado half in center of plate. Scatter the lettuce with pine nuts, onion and tomatoes. Drizzle remaining vinaigrette over salad. Serve immediately.

Avocado and Corn Salsa image

Provided by Steven Raichlen

Yield Makes 2 to 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 ripe avocado, cut into 1/4-inch dice
2 to 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 ripe red tomato, seeded and cut into 1/4-inch dice
1 ear sweet corn, shucked
1 scallion, both white and green parts, trimmed and finely chopped, or 3 tablespoons diced sweet onion
1 to 2 jalapeño peppers or serrano peppers, seeded and minced (for a hotter salsa, leave the seeds in)
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Coarse salt (kosher or sea) and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

1. Place the avocado in the bottom of a nonreactive mixing bowl and gently toss it with 2 tablespoons of the lime juice. Spoon the tomato on top of the avocado.
2. Cut the kernels off the corn. The easiest way to do this is to lay the cob flat on a cutting board and remove the kernels using lengthwise strokes of a chef's knife. Add the corn kernels to the mixing bowl. The salsa can be prepared to this stage up to 2 hours ahead. Refrigerate it, covered.
3. Just before serving, add the jalapeño(s) and cilantro to the mixing bowl and gently toss to mix. Taste for seasoning, adding more lime juice as necessary and season with salt and pepper to taste; the salsa should be highly seasoned.
