The perfect light summer salad, made with sweet summer corn, grape tomatoes, garden herbs and chilled steamed lobster. Serve this for two as a main dish salad or for four as a first course as pictured here.
It's Friday, which is often date night – a movie, dinner out at a great restaurant or sometimes just cocktails with couples. But as much as I love getting out, sometimes it's nice to have date night at home, in my comfy clothes with a glass of wine and a good movie on TV. Maybe you're single and date night for you is curling up with a good book and your cat, or a date with your girlfriends catching up on the latest gossip. Whatever you like to do with your Friday nights, this salad will make any night feel special!
August is a great time to buy lobster here on Long Island, I can usually get great specials from my local Lobster farm. And the best part about buying my lobster from a lobster farm is that they also steam it for me at no extra cost. It's not that I can't cook my own lobster, it's just that if given the choice, I'd rather not. If you don't have that luxury, here is a great video from Fine Cooking that shows you how to do it, (vegetarians look away).
Swap It Tip: If you don't live near the coast and don't have access to live lobster, you could use lump crab meat, cooked shrimp or even imitation crab instead.
