1/4 cup Lime Juice
1 piece Chipotle Chile, canned
1 cup Olive Oil

Salt and Pepper, to taste

6 cups Romaine Lettuce, shredded
6 cups Iceberg Lettuce, shredded
1 pound Lobster Meat, cooked
1/2 cup Mango, 1/4-inch dice

Preparation:  
   

For the Vinaigrette:
Place the unpeeled garlic in a dry sauté pan over low heat. Let cook, rotating periodically, until soft all the way through and slightly charred. Peel and smash to a paste. Combine with reduced orange juice, lime juice, and chipotle in a blender. Turn on the machine and slowly add the olive oil to emulsify. Season with salt, pepper, and sugar to taste.

Combine the romaine and iceberg lettuce. Place a mound of greens in the center of each dinner plate. Drizzle with a little of the vinaigrette. Place a line of each ingredient across the top of the lettuce, like a Cobb salad. Garnish with the lobster claw and drizzle with the vinaigrette.
