Instructions
Creating a delicious Lobster Salad is a straightforward process when you follow these steps:
1. Prepare the Lobster: If using raw lobster tails, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the lobster and cook for about 8-10 minutes until the meat is opaque. Remove and let cool before removing the meat from the shell, then chop into bite-sized pieces.
2. Mix the Dressing: In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste.
3. Combine Salad Ingredients: In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, celery, and parsley.
4. Add Lobster to the Greens: Gently fold the lobster meat into the salad mixture until evenly distributed.
5. Dress the Salad: Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss lightly to coat all ingredients without damaging the lobster.
6. Chill: If time allows, refrigerate the salad for about 15-20 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
7. Taste and Adjust: Before serving, taste the salad and adjust any seasoning or dressing as needed.
8. Serve: Transfer to a serving platter or individual bowls for presentation.
These steps will guide you seamlessly in creating a stunning and delicious Lobster Salad that will surely impress!
