Mango Salad with Lobster and Lime Vinaigrette
For the lime vinaigrette:
1/4 C. chopped cilantro
2 scallions, minced
Juice and zest of 1 lime
1/2 tsp. Dijon mustard
1/8 tsp. sugar
1/8 tsp. salt
Freshly ground pepper to taste
About 1/3 C. canola oil
For the salad:
1 (12-oz.) frozen lobster tail or 12 oz. cooked shrimp (see note)
1 ripe mango
8 oz. mixed baby greens
1/2 yellow or red bell pepper, cored, seeded and diced
Combine cilantro, onions, lime juice and zest, mustard, sugar, salt and pepper to taste in small bowl; whisk until smooth. Whisk in oil until smooth. Taste for seasoning; whisk in more oil, if too tart. Prepare lobster or shrimp according to package directions; cool. Remove from shells; cut into pieces. Holding the mango upright, carefully cut the two rounded sides away from the large seed. Score the fruit into cubes without cutting through the peel; push the peel side to turn the cubes inside out. Cut the mango cubes away from the peel. Divide greens among 4 dinner plates; top each with mango cubes, yellow pepper and lobster pieces. Drizzle each with lime vinaigrette.
