Ingredients

  • 8 oz fresh cooked lobster (chopped (from 2 1-1/4 lb lobsters))
  • 3 1/2 cup chopped asparagus
  • 4 tsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  • black pepper (to taste)
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes (quartered)
  • 2 tbsp diced red onion
  • 1 basil leaf (chopped)

Instructions

  1. Bring a medium pot of water to a boil, add the asparagus and cook until tender yet firm, about 2 to 3 minutes. Drain and run under cold water to stop it from cooking further. Set aside.
  2. In a small bowl combine the oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper.
  3. In a large bowl combine the asparagus, lobster, tomatoes, red onion, basil and dressing. Divide equally in 2 bowls and eat right away.
