1 1/2 tsp. finely grated orange zest
1 tbsp. fresh orange juice
1 1/2 tsp. finely grated lemon zest

Meanwhile, whisk together oil, zests and juices, mustard, shallot, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
Crack lobster claws, knuckles, and tails, and remove meat. Slice tail meat 1/2 inch thick, and leave claws and knuckles whole.
Combine lobster, greens, tomato, and tarragon. Drizzle with dressing, and toss to coat. Garnish with tarragon. Serve immediately. Looking for more healthy recipes? Check out our collections of low-fat recipes, healthy recipes for the whole day, and vegan recipes.
