Fancy but Quick Salad

Lobster Salad w/ Lemon Vinaigrette

I made this up one night when looking for a low calorie but protein filled side salad.  I love lobster and crab meat, even the imitation stuff because I don't usually have the time to steam a lobster and pull out all the meat.  I made up a salad with a mix of spinach and romaine lettuce.  I topped it with lobster meat and some flavored feta cheese.  Then, inspired by one of my favorite restaurants (Pastabilities) I made up a lemon vinaigrette.  It's actually surprisingly easy to make up your own dressings.  This one had the juice of one freshly squeezed lemon, 2 tbsps olive oil, white vinegar, salt and pepper to taste.  Light and delicious!

About Little Murph

Liverpool, NY, United States
My love for cooking started when I could barely reach the countertops. My mom would get out all of the baking supplies and let me create. Needless to say, my cooking techniques have become a bit more sophisticated. I believe that I can recreate anything I see in a restaraunt or cookbook. For this reason, my husband has said that I have "ruined eating out for him". I also believe that anyone can cook a delicious meal at home, gourmet kitchen or not. I'm a working woman but I find that after a long day at work, my kitchen is my sanctuary and I'm never too tired to cook up something new. I get bored very easily so trying new things is always a must! I think that cooking has become such an important part of my life because I love making others happy and I'm able to do that through my food. Thank you to all of my family and friends for all of your love and support, especially my husband Shawn, you are the reasons why I cook!
