Just made this with a leftover lobster for a lunch salad. AMAZING. Cool, refreshing - thanks to the combination of mint and basil and lemon zest. Loved it.
I used Boston Lettuce, as that's what I had, and I added a little more lemon juice and sea salt. I was out of celery, but the recipe didn't seem to miss it much.
Yum!
