Lobster Rolls

Makes 4 rollsPosted August 23, 2013

Lobsters have existed as a species for almost 300 million years, since the age of the dinosaurs. When the first European settlers reached North America, lobsters were plentiful, washing up along the shore, making them a precious source of sustenance during hard times.

Directions

  1. Boil the lobster with a large handful of dill. Cool.
  2. Remove the meat from the shells and cut into pieces.
  3. Mix together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, lemon zest, tarragon, scallions, parsley, salt and pepper.
  4. Add the lobster pieces and combine with the mayonnaise mixture.
  5. Toast the rolls and fill with the lobster salad.
  6. Optional: serve alongside steamed corn, asparagus, fennel salad, coleslaw and potato salad.

M.D. Notes

  • Lobster has a healthy amount of omega-3 fatty acids, potassium and vitamins E, B6 and B12.
