Lobster Salad

I'm serving this with striped bass and pickled grapes over a golden gazpacho. I just came up with the dressing a few minutes ago from things I noticed we weren't using at the moment. Tomorrow's inventory day, and it feels good not to have unused food around, hence the use of orange flower water and Lyle's Golden Syrup. I'm really happy with how it turned out.

Guts

2 lbs lobster meat, small to medium dice
4 shallots, sliced into thin rings
3 plum tomatoes, peeled, seeded and cut into 1/2" batons
4 sprigs tarragon, minced
1 Tbsp african basil flowers
2 tsp salt

Dressing

2 tsp orange flower water
2 tsp Lyle's Golden Syrup
2 tsp rice vinegar
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 cup plain whipped cream, soft peaks

- whisk first 5 ingredients
- fold in whipped cream
- gently toss with above lobster

- combine salad components and toss with dressing
