Lobster Salad Grilled The Mediterranean Way!
If you have any questions about this recipe, just leave them on the YouTube video and I'll get back with you ASAP!
Just like California, the Mediterranean is full of spiny lobsters. Believe me, the French, Italians, and the Greeks love to grill lobster tails, especially for a Mediterranean lobster salad. It's heart healthy and usually full of fresh herbs and vegetables. Not to mention the super flavorful olive oil-lemon dressing.
A couple of weekends ago I was invited to a year-end party at Lobster Port Fishing Supply in Oceanside. There, I was handed lots of fresh lobster tails then asked to make something quick! With a hundred or so guests coming to eat, I figured I could introduce everyone to a taste treat by making this Mediterranean lobster salad.
My salad ingredients were simple. Grilled lobster tails, some celery and red onions, and fresh parsley. I used garlic, oregano, olive oil and lemon for the salad dressing. The salad was a big hit! No leftovers!

Grilled Mediterranean Lobster Salad
2 averaged sized lobster tails, parboiled
3 stalks of celery, chopped
½ red onion, julienned
2 tablespoons of chopped parsley (mint or basil optional)
Marinade
1 cup olive oil
½ lemon juiced
3 tablespoons honey (molasses optional)
3-4 cloves of garlic smashed
1 tablespoon of dried oregano
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon coarse black pepper
Salad Dressing
¼ cup of extra virgin olive oil
1 lemon juice (lemon juice equal amount to olive oil)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon coarse black pepper
Preparing The Lobster
1. Parboil the lobster tails in salted water, 2 pounds of tails
should take around 5 minutes. Allow to cool, then extract the
meat from the shells.
2. While the lobster is cooling, create the marinade. Start
with the lemon juice. Add the honey, the garlic, salt, pepper
and oregano in a small mixing dish. Now drizzle in the
olive oil while whisking vigorously. Cover the lobster tails
with the marinade (I use a tupperware dish), then all them
to sit in an hour in the refrigerator.
3. Preheat the grill to 500F.
4. Grill both sides of the tails for 2-3 minutes to achieve a nice
caramelized color. Refrigerate for 10-15 minutes to cool.
Making The Grilled Mediterranean Lobster Salad
5. To make the salad dressing, vigorously mix the olive oil and
lemon with a pinch of salt and pepper.
6. Now, place the celery, red onions and parsley into a salad
bowl. Remove the lobster tails from the refrigerator and cut
into 1-inch pieces. Add the lobster pieces and then add the
salad dressing. Now toss and serve. Enjoy
