Ingredients

  • 1 pink grapefruit, peel and pith removed

  • 4 heads Belgian endive (about 8 ounces)

  3. Cut lobster into bite-size pieces; set aside.

    So elegant! This is one of my favorites - I usually use the shrimp version because I usually have shrimp on hand. The combination of flavors is great!
