Lobster Salad with Celery and Lemon
Our lobster salad is the perfect way to make the most of this luxurious seafood, whether you're looking for a light summer lunch or a sophisticated starter for a dinner party. Lobster is a rich and delicate meat, so we pair it with crisp celery and bright red onion for a refreshing contrast in texture and flavor. A simple dressing of lemon juice, olive oil and Dijon mustard enhances the natural sweetness of the lobster without overpowering it. We then finish it with a touch of salt and pepper for a perfectly balanced and satisfying dish.
Lobster has long been considered a luxury food, but it wasn't always so. In the early days of the American colonies, lobster was plentiful along the coast and was often used as fertilizer or bait for catching other fish. As demand for lobster grew, so did its price. Today, lobster is still a relatively expensive seafood, but it's worth the splurge for special occasions or when you're looking for a truly delicious and memorable meal. Our lobster salad is a great way to enjoy lobster without breaking the bank. It's made with cooked lobster meat, so you don't have to worry about boiling or steaming it yourself. The salad is also very easy to make, and it can be served immediately or refrigerated for later. What could be easier?
