Mangoes say summer is here and this Thai mango and lobster salad says delicious. Mangoes and seafood marry so well and this is a combination we love. Sweet mangoes and succulent lobster tails teamed with avocado, asparagus, mint and coriander along with a spicy lime dressing. All these fresh clean flavours combine to deliver a fabulous flavour burst. What’s not to like?
Lobster to us always says a little bit of luxury. We think this salad would be perfect for the holidays when a little bit of indulgence is required.
Lobster
We have used small lobster tails allowing one per person. They are around 6 inches (15 cm) long. These are frozen uncooked so you simply steam them for around 8 minutes then plunge into ice water. Too easy!
Slicing avocados
A good tip for making perfect avocado slices is to halve the avocado and remove the stone, cut the half in half and gently peel the skin from the tip. Slice into desired thickness. Too easy!
Lime dressing
Fresh lime juice forms the basis for this sweet and sour dressing. Taking only minutes to make it is sure to become a go to dressing for salads.
