My little local market started selling precooked lobsters and I just couldn’t resist buying some. I love lobster, but it’s expensive and definitely a once in a while treat. It’s been so hot here, though, that I just don’t want to cook, so I used that excuse to buy two lovely lobsters. I used the meat to make a spicy, “kicked” up summer salad…
PrintKicked Up Lobster Salad
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 small precooked lobsters
- 3/4 T toasted sesame seeds
- 1/4 C grapeseed oil
- juice from one lemon
- 1 t sugar
- 1 whole red chili pepper, diced
- kosher salt and pepper from the mill
- 1 small head of lettuce
- 1 C crispy Chinese noodles
- 1/4 C fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
- Toast the sesame seeds in a small skillet over low heat for a few minutes
- Whisk together grapeseed oil, lemon juice, salt & pepper
- Remove the meat from the lobster shells – I find a scissors handy for this task
- Wash and spin dry the lettuce, tearing it into small pieces
- Mix the lettuce and lobster together and dress with the lemon dressing
- Add salt and pepper to taste
- Garnish with the cilantro, noodles and sesame seeds
I added a glass of Sauvignon Blanc and called it dinner…

Yes, That rich salad, try it on! Greetings!
Sound scrumptious! We will be giving it a try here too!
Heat sounds like a perfect excuse for purchasing a treat that’s a major ingredient in a delicious-looking salad.
What a gorgeous sounding salad! I love Asian salads and lobster is a wonderful addition. I’ll join you with that glass of SB 😉
Great recipe and post for K ~ Wow! Lobster ~ Here it is best boiled then enjoyed with melted butter or not or lobster rolls with celery and just a tad of mayo ~ Delish!
I call it a feast!
Your food photography is so wonderful. I think it is one of the hardest types of photography there is.
This sounds wonderful! I think my husband would love it. He likes food with a little kick.
Oh my GOODness.
*sigh*
=)
Cool!
Doubt I can find any lobster here though I will try. That salad looked so good, it would even be great sans lobster. I need to break out the sesame seeds.
Patti,
I bet grilled chicken would be wonderful in this salad, or maybe shrimp?
xxoo,

Salad looks so good, and since it is hot here also I may have to check out the local lobsters and grab a bottle of white.
Phyllis:
I’ll be over later!

Looks so darn good! 🙂
Sounds good!
Oh man does that look good! But I’m not a fan of lobster, so I’d substitute chicken.
Oh goodness, now I have to go make dinner! I’m so hungry!
your plates always look so good. I might just have to start cooking again! {:-D
MMMMMM making me hungry!
Wow, this looks gorgeous. So decadent, but still light and fragrant.
Oh goodness this looks delicious! I want to come to your house for dinner! Yum!
It looks so delicious!
Excellent choice♫♪ Thanks so much for your visit and comments on my Tess.
That looks absolutely fabulous…
It’s killing me to see this and not be able to take a bite right now!
Great post for the letter “K”…
