Cooking and Handling Tips:
- Use frozen lobster and when you purchase the lobster allow it to thaw out overnight in the refrigerator.
- Place the lobster into a strainer or colander to drain the juice from it.
- Squeeze excess juice from the lobster meat and cut it into ½ inch chunks.
- Be sure all your ingredients are ready including the salsa and the ranch dressing which can be prepared a day before you serve it.
- Peel a ripe avocado and remove the pit. Slice the halves just when ready to serve so they don’t discolor.
- Buy Taco Tray Holders online or from a local kitchen houseware store.
- To serve use a quarter size cookie sheet tray with a paper napkin liner or butcher paper.
- In Mexican cuisine, Pico De Gallo, also called salsa fresca or salsa cruda, is traditionally made from chopped tomato, onion, and cilantro, with lime juice mixed in. Simply using your favorite salsa from the supermarket and adding fresh chopped tomato and cilantro will do it for this dish.
