Recipe - Egg Salad Surprise

4 ounce Cooked lobster meat; minced ,
1 Hardboiled egg; minced
1 small Avocado; (ripe) minced
2 Shallots
2 Lemons
1 cup Mayonnaise; (homemade)
1 Red leaf lettuce; (romaine)
1 Red ripe tomatoes
6 Asparagus spears; peeled & c
Salt and pepper; to taste

1. Mix the minced lobster meat, minced eggs and minced avocado
(sprinkled with fresh lemon juice) and fine minced shallots with
the mayonnaise, very gently. Use just enough mayonnaise to coat
and bind. Season to taste with salt and red pepper. I like to use
the Japanese Sashimi Togarashi.

2. Spoon back into the lobster or avocado shell, and rest on a bed of
shredded red romaine or curly lettuce. Garnish with lemon wedges
and asparagus with reserved lobster claws on top.

Serves 1 or 2

April Fool! This is a thinly disguised Lobster Mayonnaise, with an egg
and avocado salad, accompanied by a dish of Springtime asparagus. Have
a sauceboat of the freshly made mayonnaise available. Serve with a
crusty bread and a chilled Chablis for a Spring Luncheon. The Chablis
is one reason I use mayonnaise instead of vinegar. In spooning the
salad into the lobsters chest cavity, spoon it right on top of the
tomalley (the green liver of the lobster). For those who like it, this
makes a fine taste. For those who don't, suit yourself, chacon a son
gout!
