Lobster Cobb Salad

This lobster cobb salad offers a luxurious update on the classic American bistro dish, replacing traditional chicken with succulent, sweet lobster meat. This vibrant seafood recipe is an excellent choice for a sophisticated weekend lunch or a light summer dinner, combining the crisp texture of iceberg lettuce with salty bacon, creamy avocado, and rich hard-boiled eggs. The addition of fresh watercress provides a peppery bite that balances the richness of the seafood perfectly.

The dish is brought together by a homemade dressing thickened with egg yolks and a hint of maple syrup for a well-rounded flavour profile. Though traditionally served with blue cheese, this version is easily adaptable for those following a dairy-free diet by simply omitting the cheese or using a plant-based alternative. Serve it on a large platter for a stunning centrepiece that captures the essence of coastal dining.

How to make Lobster Cobb Salad

Make a bed of lettuce on a platter, in a shallow serving bowl, or on individual plates. Arrange over the lettuce, in rows or in a checkerboard pattern, the eggs, bacon, watercress, avocados, tomatoes, and lobster meat, covering the lettuce almost completely. Season with salt and pepper.

In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, maple syrup, garlic, and salt and pepper to taste. Using a fork, mash in the egg yolks to make a paste. While whisking, slowly drizzle in the olive oil to form a thick dressing. Stir in the chives.

To serve, pour some of the dressing over the salad. Sprinkle with the blue cheese. Serve the remaining dressing on the side.
