INSTRUCTIONS
Combine the first 4 ingredients in a small bowl; stir well.
Combine 3 tablespoons juice mixture, mango, onion, chile, and mint in a
bowl, and stir well. Set mango mixture aside.
Separate endive into leaves, reserving 12 outer leaves. Thinly slice the
remaining leaves; set aside.
Remove meat from lobster tails and claws; set claw meat aside. Thinly slice
tail meat; set aside.
Drizzle 1/3 cup juice mixture over the salad greens, and toss gently to
coat. Divide greens evenly among 4 salad plates. Arrange 3 endive leaves, 8
jicama strips, and 6 asparagus spears on 1 side of each plate. Arrange claw
meat on other side of each plate. Spoon 1/2 cup mango mixture in center of
each plate. Arrange tail slices, overlapping, on top of mango mixture.
Drizzle remaining juice mixture evenly over lobster meat. Sprinkle pepper
over salads, and garnish with sliced endive. Yield: 4 servings.

NOTES : You'll need a large jicama to get long, graceful-looking strips.
But don't worry about buying too much: The leftovers can be used as a
low-fat snack or tidbit. Put the remaining jicama strips on a plate with
lime wedges and a pepper shaker filled with chili powder. To eat, squeeze a
lime wedge over the slices and then sprinkle with chili powder.
