Notes

These lobster rolls are best enjoyed fresh. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days, but avoid toasting buns upon reheating. Chill the filling for about 30 minutes before serving for enhanced flavor. Customization options include adding diced jalapeños or swapping lobster with chickpeas for a vegan variation.
