This French lobster salad is one of my favorite dishes to make when I want something elegant but totally doable on a weeknight. Succulent lobster meat paired with fresh greens, cherry tomatoes, and a bright lemon vinaigrette creates a restaurant quality meal that comes together in under 45 minutes. What I love most is how versatile it is, plus the mixed greens provide wonderful antioxidants that support your overall health. The couscous makes it hearty enough for a complete meal, and honestly, if you grab pre cooked lobster meat from your fishmonger, this becomes almost embarrassingly simple to pull together.
