Lobster Cobb Salad Recipe

Lobster Cobb Salad Recipe

  • 1 head iceberg lettuce, cut in wedges
  • 6 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and sliced
  • 8 slices bacon, cooked until crisp, crumbled
  • 2 cups (500 mL) watercress
  • 2 avocados, halved, pitted, and cubed
  • 2 tomatoes, cubed
  • Meat from 2 steamed lobsters
  • Salt and freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1 cup (250 mL) crumbled blue cheese
  • 1 tablespoon (15 mL) red wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon (15 mL) Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon (15 mL) Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon (15 mL) maple syrup
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • Salt and freshly cracked black pepper
  • 2 hard-boiled egg yolks
  • 1/2 cup (125 mL) olive oil
  • About 2 tablespoons (30 mL) finely chopped fresh chives
  1. Make a bed of lettuce on a platter, in a shallow serving bowl, or on individual plates. Arrange over the lettuce, in rows or in a checkerboard pattern, the eggs, bacon, watercress, avocados, tomatoes, and lobster meat, covering the lettuce almost completely. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, maple syrup, garlic, and salt and pepper to taste. Using a fork, mash in the egg yolks to make a paste. While whisking, slowly drizzle in the olive oil to form a thick dressing. Stir in the chives.
  3. To serve, pour some of the dressing over the salad. Sprinkle with the blue cheese. Serve the remaining dressing on the side.
