Ingredients

For the vinaigrette:

1 1/2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (2 lemons)
5 tablespoons good olive oil
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

For the salad:

2 ripe Hass avocados
1 lemon, juiced
1 bunch arugula, washed and spun dry
1 1/2 pounds cooked lobster meat, cut in 3/4-inch dice
1 pint cherry tomatoes, cut in half or quarters
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 pound lean bacon, fried and crumbled
3/4 cup crumbled English Stilton, or other crumbly blue cheese
8 hot dog rolls

Directions

For the vinaigrette, whisk together the mustard, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.

For the salad, cut the avocados in half, remove the seed, and peel. Cut into 3/4-inch dice and toss with the lemon juice. If the arugula leaves are large, cut them in half crosswise.

Put the lobster and tomatoes in a bowl. Sprinkle with the salt and pepper and toss with enough vinaigrette to moisten. Add the diced avocados, crumbled bacon, blue cheese, and arugula and toss again. Fill the hot dog rolls with the salad. Serve at room temperature.

I love the original... recipe, but I have made some changes: Add half of a red onion Add Lime juice and hold the bacon I used an amish blue cheese it was milder and even my children would eat it. Send us more recipes Ina. And try mine!!Read more

No Champagne Vinegar in Ina's TV Recipe Either!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

For those of you who are complaining because the champagne vinegar was left out of the online receipe, I have reviewed the TV... episode and there was NO champagne vinegar in THIS recipe. You got confused with the recipe for the Rice Salad in the same episode, which DOES call for champagne vinegar. So add it to this recipe if you wish, but Ina's recipe doesn't call for it. I'd think that you could try replacing half the lemon juice with the vinegar if you wish to add it.Read more

Beautiful, but-Hey, way too much sodium!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I loved watching Ina make this salad and bought the champagne vinegar, which was pricey, however, not listed on the recipe. I... see there's a couple people who have noted ingredient or technique differences between recipes and show. I will not follow Ina if I find this happening again-she's charmed me into trying Stilton and making her souffle (first I'd ever tried- I love watching her), but hey I have a chicken, not lobster budget. And I made this dish with a baked chicken my husband made with leftovers for just this dish, and how did I reward my poor high-blood pressured love? With so much salt the inside of MY mouth puckered! There's enough salt in the bacon (and I used non-cured) and the blue cheese, no need to add all that salt to the dressing which I tasted AFTERWARD separately and bingo, way too much salt and then I'd added the salt to the chicken/tomato! Good thing I served it on nice organic white rolls, which cut some of the effect, so it tasted great, but oh my!! Killer recipe, but I think this is not what we meant!!Read more

Not Bad, Dressing Needs Work
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I made this recipe substituting imitation lobster for real lobster. Generally, I always do a recipe exactly as written the... first time, then modify. But $40 worth of lobster was too steep for me should this recipe be horrible. I also remember champagne vinegar being added in the episode that was absent from the recipe. I added 2 Tbsp. of vinegar to the dressing. Overall, not bad - but the dressing would be way too strong if eating this as a salad rather than in a roll. I used ciabbata rolls rather than hotdog roles, and it balanced it out. Overall, not bad...but I won't make it again without major revisions. Somewhat disappointing considering Ina's track record. Good concept - follow through could be better.Read more

not good
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

I usually like Ina's recipes but this was not good at all. The vinegrette doesn't go with the other ingredients at all. It... would probably be good with a different type of dressing maybe mayonaise based.Read more
