This stunning and elegant salad is the perfect treat yourself meal. Tender pieces of lobster meat are cooked, sous vide, with a compound butter made with rosé wine and chopped chives. Compound butters, a fancy culinary term for butter that has been infused with tasty ingredients, are a great way to flavor all proteins. Feel free to make this butter as directed in the instructions, or blend it together in your food processor. The salad base is a mixture of baby gem lettuce leaves topped with cucumber, avocado, and fresh basil with a simple dressing of fresh lemon juice and olive oil.
