One of the ways I've brought down the fat in salad dressing is by incorporating fruit into the blend.


Lobster, Blueberry and Corn Salad With Blueberry Vinaigrette

Yields 4 servings

MAKE AHEAD: The corn can be cooked up to a day in advance.

Ingredients

30 to 40 stems chives, finely chopped (2 tablespoons)

1⁄2 cup fresh blueberries, stemmed

Finely grated zest of 1⁄2 lemon (1 teaspoon)

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons white wine vinegar

1 teaspoon sugar

Salt

Freshly ground black pepper

6 cups loosely packed mixed baby greens (2 to 3 ounces)

1 cup cooked corn

1 cup fresh blueberries, stemmed

8 ounces cooked lobster, cut into bite-size pieces

Steps

Combine the chives, blueberries, lemon zest, oil, vinegar, sugar, and salt and pepper to taste in a blender. Puree until well combined.

Place 11⁄2 cups of greens on each plate. Top each portion with 1⁄4 cup of the corn kernels and 1⁄4 cup of the blueberries; divide the lobster among the plates. Drizzle equal amounts of the dressing over each portion. Serve immediately.
