-
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil for the lobster.

Cook the lobster until the shells turn bright red and the meat is opaque, about 8-10 minutes depending on size.
-
Remove lobster from water and let cool slightly, then extract the meat from the claws and body.
-
Chop the lobster meat into bite-sized chunks.
-
In a large bowl, combine the diced avocados, concasse tomato, sliced red onion, minced garlic, and minced chilies.
-
Add the chopped lobster meat to the bowl with the vegetables.
-
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, and cumin to create the dressing.
-
Pour the dressing over the lobster and vegetable mixture.
-
Gently toss everything together to coat evenly without mashing the avocado.
-
Fold in the julienned sorrel and mint leaves just before serving to maintain their texture and color.
