- 1 1/2 lbs smaller yukon gold potatoes, scrubbed and quartered
- 1 1/2 lb lobster meat, diced into larger chunks
- zest of 1 lemon and the juice
- 3 tbsp fresh chopped tarragon
- 6-8 thin-sliced scallions

The Vinaigrette:

- 1/2 cup EVOO
- 1/4 cup dry white wine

- Boil the potatoes until fork-tender and drain.
- Allow to sit at room temperature
- While they're boiling, make the vinaigrette by whisking together the vinegar, mustard, garlic, egg yolk, salt, and pepper in a blender; reduce speed to low and slowly pour in the EVOO, finish by stirring in the wine and capers.

- Toss in the chopped tarragon and capers
- Add in the remaining dressing and finish with the lobster, tossing at the end
