Course: Appetizer, lunch, Main Course, Sauce, Side Dish
1 to 2 pounds lobster meat(see above for alternatives)
1cucumber,diced
1/2poundtomatoes, diced
1yellow bell pepper, seeded and diced
1habanero, minced(optional)
1/2cupchopped herbs,parsley, basil, mint, etc.
1/3cupextra virgin olive oil
Black pepper
Instructions
Mix the minced onion with the lime juice and a little salt. Set this aside while you chop everything else. This process takes the sting out of raw onions.
Cut the lobster into chunks you'd like to eat. then toss in a bowl with all the remaining ingredients. You can eat this straight away, or let it sit for an hour for the flavors to meld; I prefer the latter.
Notes
This recipe assumes you've cooked the seafood. Normally you steam whole lobsters for about 20 minutes, then crack them. If you have only tails, best to butter poach them. Use my recipe for butter poached fishas a guide.
