    Prepare the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine the mixed spring greens, sliced avocado, thinly sliced radishes, diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, and chopped chives.

  3. 3

    Make the Vinaigrette

    In a bowl, whisk together the fresh orange juice, lemon juice, saffron threads, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Salad

    Add the poached lobster pieces to the salad and drizzle with the citrus saffron vinaigrette. Toss gently to combine and serve immediately.
