Ingredients
- 1/4 cup lime juice or vinegar
- 1 small red onion, minced
- salt
- 1 to 2 pounds lobster meat (see above for alternatives)
- 1 cucumber, diced
- 1/2 pound tomatoes, diced
- 1 yellow bell pepper, seeded and diced
- 1 habanero, minced (optional)
- 1/2 cup chopped herbs, parsley, basil, mint, etc.
- 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
- black pepper
Instructions
- Mix the minced onion with the lime juice and a little salt. Set this aside while you chop everything else. This process takes the sting out of raw onions.
- Cut the lobster into chunks you'd like to eat. then toss in a bowl with all the remaining ingredients. You can eat this straight away, or let it sit for an hour for the flavors to meld; I prefer the latter.

Notes
- This recipe assumes you've cooked the seafood. Normally you steam whole lobsters for about 20 minutes, then crack them. If you have only tails, best to butter poach them. Use my recipe for butter poached fish as a guide.
