Ingredients

250 g baby new potatoes, scrubbed
2 T mayonnaise
2 T Greek-style yogurt
finely grated zest of 1/2 lime
salt and pepper
1 cooked lobster, about 500 g
2 small French shallots, thinly sliced
100 g snow peas, shredded
100 g seedless red grapes
100 g seedless green grapes
30 g watercress, trimmed
50 g rocket

Preparation

1. Put the potatoes in a saucepan and cover with boiling water. Cook for about 15 minutes, or until just tender. Drain and leave to cool, then cut the potatoes in half.
2. While the potatoes are cooling, mix together the mayonnaise, yogurt and lime zest, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
3. Pull and twist off the lobster claws and set aside. With a sharp knife, cut the body in half lengthwise, from tail end through the head. Remove the meat from the body/tail shell and the claws. Chop all the meat into chunks. (The meat from the spindly legs can also be removed with tweezers, but this takes a lot of effort for the small amount of meat inside them.)
4. Toss the potatoes with the shallots, snow peas, grapes, watercress and dressing. Arrange the rocket on plates and add the watercress and potato salad. Scatter the lobster meat on top and serve.
