Fresh lobster tails are steamed
and tossed with shredded cabbage, cucumber, tomato, radish, jalapeno, and fresh dill and served wrapped in a red lettuce leaf with a no-cream added creamy avocado dressing.
This no-fuss recipe is easy to make
by using the lobster tails instead of whole lobster and pre-washed, pre-shredded cabbage. Make the slaw and the avocado dressing ahead of time and toss just before serving. Avocado dressing makes 2 1/2 cups – more than enough for this recipe and beyond. Save remaining avocado dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Use as a dipping sauce with fresh vegetables, serve over grilled or baked chicken, or delicious when served over seared tuna.

Cooking With Susan : Southern Family Favorites
1 medium to large ripe avocado
3/4 cup grapeseed oil
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh basil leaves
1 clove garlic, minced
1 cup white wine vinegar
juice of 1/2 large lemon
sea salt, about 1/2 teaspoon plus 1/2 teaspoon
1/2 to 1 teaspoon cracked black pepper plus 1 teaspoon
7 cups shredded cabbage
6 roma tomatoes, seeded and diced
2 cucumbers, partially peeled (striped), seeded and diced
4 radishes, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
1/2 medium jalapeno, seeded and diced
3 medium lobster tails
1 head red or green leaf lettuce
In a medium mixing bowl, use a fork to mash the avocado.
Whisk in the grapeseed oil, basil leaves, garlic, white wine vinegar, lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon sea salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
Whisk will until smooth and creamy and set aside.
In a separate large mixing bowl, toss together the cabbage, tomatoes, cucumber, radishes, dill, jalapeno, remaining sea salt and black pepper.
Place cabbage mixture in the refrigerator until ready to use.
Fill a medium saucepan about 2 inches deep with water and place in lobster tails.
Cover with lid and place over medium heat until water comes to a gentle boil and lobster tails are just cooked through, about 5 minutes.
Be careful not to overcook the lobster.
When cooked, run lobsters under cold water.
Remove lobster meat from tail and roughly chop.
Toss slaw with about 1 cup of the avocado dressing - tossing only the amount you are going to serve right now.
Place 1 lettuce leaf on serving plate, top with about 1/4 cup slaw and a few tablespoons of the lobster.
Starting at one side, gently roll the lettuce leaf around the slaw mixture.
Serve chilled.
For more spicy lobster rolls, add a small pinch of cayenne pepper to the slaw mixture or use the entire jalapeno pepper.
*Note: the Creamy Avocado Dressing makes over 2 cups. In this recipe, 1 cup is used and is the basis for the recipe nutritional analysis
