Ingredients

3 1/2 to 4 cups cooked wild rice (see recipe)
2 cups cooked lobster meat cut into bite-size cubes
2 medium-size unblemished avocados
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 cup coarsely, neatly cubed red onion
1 tablespoon imported mustard
2 1/2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
1/2 cup corn, peanut or vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon finely minced garlic
Salt to taste, if desired
Freshly ground pepper to taste
2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley

Steps:

Put the rice in a mixing bowl, let cool, and add the lobster.
Peel the avocados and slice in half. Remove the pits. Cut the avocado into cubes and sprinkle with lemon juice to prevent discoloration. Add the cubes to the mixing bowl. Sprinkle with onion.
Put the mustard and vinegar in a small mixing bowl and beat lightly with a wire whisk. Gradually add the oil, beating briskly with the whisk. Add the garlic, salt, pepper and parsley. Pour over the salad and toss. Serve at room temperature.
