Well you all know about the little celebration I had this weekend with the lobster and lo and behold I actually had one left over! I know, I know, leftover lobster??? Mon Dieu! But alas, there was one little guy we couldn’t finish so I tossed him in the fridge and got to make one of the best things known to man…lobster salad! Sadly, I was not anticipating a leftover lobster so I didn’t have the proper materials on hand and therefore had to wing it…I usually make it with chopped celery and scallions…but this one turned out really really good!
1 cooked 1 1/2 lb lobster
1/4 cup light mayonnaise
2 T diced red onion
1/2 pint grape tomatoes cut in half
1/2 romaine heart shredded
Bulkie rolls or hot dog buns
Remove all the good meat from your lobster. My favorite parts are the tail and the meaty part of the claw. Lay them on your cutting board and chop into bite size pieces. Place in a medium sized bowl. Top with onion, tomatoes and lettuce. Dollop with mayo and fold together being careful not to break up all that beautiful lobster meat. Mound onto a grilled bun and serve with chips and a pickle. A better lunch does not exist anywhere on this earth!
