Lobster salad with Parmesan dressing

On Demand from Oscar B. this is posted, enjoy Oscar!
Champagne is best suited, otherwise Pinot Gris works well.

This is the starter for special occasions. The Parmesan dressing is absolutely fantastic and goes well with the nut mixture.
The lobster can easily be replaced with scallops or something more affordable.

Tips and variations

  • Use fresh lobster for the best quality, but fresh prawns or scallops are excellent and more affordable alternatives.
  • The Parmesan dressing can be made the day before — it gets even better as the flavours develop overnight.
  • Toast the nut mixture lightly in a dry pan before serving for more aroma and crunch.
  • Dress the salad just before serving — mix the leaves and dressing at the last moment to prevent wilting.
  • A small squeeze of lemon over the lobster meat just before serving enhances the natural sweetness.

🍷 Wine tips

Champagne Blanc de Blancs — Lobster salad with Parmesan dressing is luxury food — and luxury food deserves Champagne. Blanc de Blancs (100% Chardonnay) is the elegant, mineral match. White Burgundy from Meursault is a superb still alternative.
