Ingredients
  

Lobster Salad
  • 1 lb cooked lobster meat, roughly chopped
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tsp fresh herbs (parsley and/or dill), chopped
  • ¼ cup minced celery
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1½ Tbsp fresh chives, chopped
Buns
  • 4 pieces DLM Golden Classic Hot Dog Buns
  • 2 Tbsp butter, softened for toasting
  • 4 leaves lettuce for serving

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, and chopped herbs. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  2. Stir in the minced celery, and then fold in the chopped lobster meat gently. Cover and chill in the fridge.
Toasting Buns
  1. Heat a large sauté pan over medium heat. Butter the sides of the buns and toast them in the pan until golden brown.
Assembly
  1. Fold the chives into the lobster salad.
  2. Inside each toasted bun, place a lettuce leaf and divide the lobster salad evenly among the buns.
  3. Sprinkle with more chives and serve immediately.

Notes

These rolls are best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, store your lobster salad in the fridge for up to two days. Keep the salad separate from the buns to avoid sogginess.
