Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1.5 lbs cooked lobster meat, cut into ¾-inch chunks Fresh lobster meat is preferable.
  • ⅓ cup mayonnaise Substitute with Greek yogurt for a lighter version.
  • 1.5 tbsp fresh lemon juice Adjust to taste.
  • ¼ cup finely chopped celery (inner stalks only) Add just before serving for crunch.
  • 1 tbsp thinly sliced chives, plus more for garnish Feel free to swap with dill or parsley.
  • Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a chilled mixing bowl, combine lobster, mayo, lemon juice, celery, and chives.
  2. Gently fold until just combined, ensuring not to overmix to keep lobster chunks intact.
  3. Season lightly with salt and pepper, stir and taste to adjust seasoning if necessary.
  4. Cover and chill in the fridge for 30 to 60 minutes to allow flavors to mingle.
  5. Serve cold in lettuce cups, toasted buns, or plated over avocado.

Notes

For best results, use fresh lobster meat and aim for at least an hour of chill time. Avoid freezing to maintain texture. Consider adding diced avocado or mango for a tropical twist, or substitute lobster with shrimp or crab meat.
