Grilled Lobster with Creamy Chili Vinaigrette

At Geronimo, located on eclectic Canyon Road in Santa Fe, this is served with a mixed green salad and roasted corn on the cob. The idea here is to dip the lobster meat into the spicy vinaigrette.

Ingredients

1 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons chili-garlic sauce*
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons sugar
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

    Mix first 8 ingredients in medium bowl. Whisk in 3/4 cup oil. Season vinaigrette with salt and pepper. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
