Turn your Caesar salad into an elegant main course with the addition of tender lobster chunks. Lobster Caesar salad is a dinner party home run!

Ingredients

Scale

Dresssing Ingredients

  • 1 egg yolks
  • 1garlic clove, minced
  • Juice from 1/2 fresh lemon
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Salad Ingredients

  • 1 cup country-style bread, torn into bite-sized pieces
  • Olive oil
  • Salt and pepper
  • One small head romaine lettuce, torn into bite sized pieces
  • 8 ounces cooked and shelled lobster meat
  • Parmesan cheese shavings for garnish

Instructions

  1. Make the dressing! Give the egg yolk a good stir and then pour it through a fine mesh strainer into a small jar to catch any squishy parts of the egg. Now add all the remaining dressing ingredients, put the lid on and give it a good shake.
  2. Make the croutons! Tear up a piece or two of sturdy bread, lay the bread pieces in a single layer on a foil-lined baking pan with olive oil, sprinkle them lightly with salt and pepper and bake them at 350 until they are nice and golden, about 10 minutes.
  3. Assemble your glorious salad by placing lettuce, lobster and croutons in a large bowl. Pour the dressing over and toss gently with washed hands. (And yes, you can use tongs if you would rather!)
  4. Divide salad among plates, garnish with shaved Parmesan and more ground pepper and serve.

Notes

    • Lobster: You need about 8 ounces of cooked lobster which you can get a variety of ways – you can cook your own lobster, you can ask the seafood counter at your supermarket to steam it for you, or you can use frozen. You need two 1.5 pound lobsters to get 8 ounces of lobster.

    • Lettuce: Romaine lettuce is traditionally used for Caesar salads, but you can use any lettuce you like.

    • Bread pieces: We recommend a sturdy country-style bread to make the best croutons.

    • Egg: A raw egg yolk is also traditional in Caesar dressing, but you can swap in 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise if you prefer. It will give your dressing a creamier consistency and a little tang, both of which are just fine with us!
