Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked lobster meat (tail and claw)
- 0.25 cup mayonnaise (preferably high-quality)
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 0.5 cup celery (finely diced)
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives (finely chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
- 4 cups mixed greens or butter lettuce
- 1 large ripe avocado (sliced)
- 1 cup grape tomatoes (halved)
Instructions
1. Prepare the lobster: Ensure the lobster meat is fully cooked and cooled if not using pre-cooked lobster. Roughly chop the lobster meat into bite-sized pieces.
2. Make the dressing: In a small mixing bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, fresh lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well-combined.
3. Toss the salad base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced celery and chopped chives. Add in the prepared dressing and gently mix to coat the ingredients evenly.
4. Fold in the lobster: Gently fold the chopped lobster meat into the bowl with the dressing, being careful not to break the delicate pieces. Ensure the lobster is evenly coated without overmixing.
5. Assemble the salad: On a large serving platter or individual plates, arrange the mixed greens or butter lettuce as the base. Top the greens with the dressed lobster mixture.
6. Garnish and serve: Add the avocado slices and halved grape tomatoes around the lobster salad for a pop of color and extra flavor. Optionally, garnish with additional fresh chives or a light drizzle of olive oil.
7. Serve immediately and enjoy your Luscious Lobster Salad!
