经过几个夏天去缅因州的搜索perfect lobster roll, I've become a purist of sorts. My favorite roll comes from a place in Cape Porpoise that uses only fresh lobster meat and Hellmann's mayonnaise. So that's how I make my lobster salad. Except I use frozen lobster meat and add a little diced yellow pepper for some crunch and color. Oh, and I add salt and pepper. I guess my lobster salad isn't quite like theirs after all.
You can make the lobster salad earlier in the day and keep it covered in the refrigerator. And you might as well slice the cukes while you're at it and keep them in the fridge separately. Assemble just before your guests arrive.
Ingredients
You need:
Step 1
Peel and slice the cucumber into 1/8-inch-thick slices. (They need to be a little thick to support the weight of the lobster salad.) Reserve in a bowl of cold water until you're ready to assemble the appetizers.
Step 2
Chop the lobster meat into small pieces. Toss in a bowl with the mayo, yellow pepper, salt and pepper.
Step 3
Place a spoonful on each cucumber slice.

Back to TopIt was what it sounds like when you read the ingredients. For me, nothing beats a hot boiled with drawn butter! My rating is 2 out of 4. I couldn't get my tablet to only choose two forks.

Could be four forks. Made it with crab meat, added some Old Bay, lemon and lime, and chives for additional flavor. Worked but I think shrimp or lobster would be a better.

This was certainly not bad, but I agree - BLAND. I have made it a few times w/ changes. First w/ rice wine and ginger another w/ meyer lemon juice and fresh basil. I'm sure there are a zillion combo's to add a little flavor.

I couldn't find lobster meat when I was making it, so I substituted salad shrimp...not as good but it worked. I also added a little curry. I put it on a silver tray, and had every other one on a water cracker. It looked beautiful and was well received.

I love lobster so I was really excited to try these. Unfortunately, I found it a little bland. Just not much taste at all. If I make it again, I'll probably think of a way to spicy it up.
