- For the Vinaigrette:
- 1-1/2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (2 lemons)
- 5 tablespoons good olive oil
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- For the Salad:
- 2 ripe Hass avocados
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1-1/2 pounds cooked lobster meat, cut in 3/4-inch dice
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes, cut in half or quarters
- 1-1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 pound lean bacon, fried and crumbled
- 3/4 cup crumbled English Stilton, or other crumbly blue cheese
- 1 bunch arugula, washed and spun dry
For the vinaigrette, whisk together the mustard, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
For the salad, cut the avocados in half, remove the seed, and peel. Cut into 3/4-inch dice and toss with the lemon juice. If the arugula leaves are large, cut them in half crosswise.
Put the lobster and tomatoes in a bowl. Sprinkle with the salt and pepper and toss with enough vinaigrette to moisten. Add the diced avocados, crumbled bacon, blue cheese, and arugula and toss again. Serve at room temperature.
