1
Place all the dressing ingredients in a food processor, along with some fresh ground pepper and a pinch of salt. Process until smooth, and until herb pieces are very small. Use a rubber spatula to clean the sides during processing, if necessary. Taste and adjust for seasoning. Place in a sealed container in the refrigerator to chill.
2
Steam lobster tails for about 8 minutes, then allow to cool. While lobster tails are cooling, slice salad ingredients.
3
Once cooled, remove lobster tails from the shells and slice on the diagonal to create 1/2-inch chunks. Then layer the salad ingredients on a chilled plate, drizzle with the green goddess dressing, garnish with parsley, and serve.

Note: The green goddess dressing recipe makes about 2 cups of dressing. That is more than you will need for this recipe. Use it for other salads, or for other purposes, such as sandwich dressings, etc.
