Equipment
- Mixing bowl Preferably chilled
- sharp knife
- cutting board
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Spatula For gentle folding
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs cooked lobster meat, cut into 3/4-inch chunks
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 cup finely chopped celery
- 1 tablespoon thinly sliced chives, plus extra for garnish
- salt, to taste
- freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- If using whole cooked lobster, remove the meat from the shells and cut into 3/4-inch bite-sized pieces.
- In a chilled mixing bowl, gently combine the lobster meat, mayonnaise, lemon juice, chopped celery, and chives.
- Season lightly with salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Fold carefully to avoid breaking the lobster pieces.
- Cover and refrigerate for 30–60 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the dressing to firm.
- Serve in lettuce cups, toasted brioche rolls, or over sliced cucumber or blanched asparagus for an elegant presentation.
Notes
Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for the cleanest flavor. Combine claw and knuckle meat for the best texture. Salt lightly at the end to avoid drawing out moisture. Chill before serving to allow flavors to meld, and avoid overmixing to keep lobster pieces intact.
