(NC)—I love to start a dinner party with some lobster salad martinis while we're mingling; it starts the night off right. The lobster and fresh Ontario Greenhouse vegetables create a really great base formost types of dressings, however, I would avoid the creamy types because you will lose the colour of the fresh Ontario Greenhouse vegetables.
1 cup (225 g) Ontario Greenhouse diced cucumber
1 cup (225 g) Ontario Greenhouse diced yellow pepper
1 cup (225 g) diced green pepper
1 cup (225 g) Ontario Greenhouse diced red pepper (optional)
1 cup (225 g) Ontario Greenhouse diced tomato
2 cups (450 g) lobster meat
Salad dressing:2 cups (500 mL) mayonnaise
2 tbsp (25 mL) Dijon mustard
1- 3 tbsp (15- 45 mL) lobster base to taste
1 tsp (5 mL) Accent (flavour enhancer)
Dash of Tabasco sauce
Salt to taste
1 tbsp (15 mL) lemon juice
Mix mayonnaise with Dijon mustard, lobster base, Accent, a dash of Tabasco with salt to taste.
Blend well and toss with vegetables and lobster.
Serves 8 to 12.
Alternate: Toss vegetables and the lobster meat individually and layer each item in a martini glass to form a layered salad.
