Report
This lobster salad is so fresh and vibrant it truly is the best ever. You can go with freshly steamed lobster or even frozen lobster tails to make this salad. We like to order lobster meat from LobsterAnywhere.com

Ingredients
- 1 lb lobster meat cooked and roughly chopped
- 1 large cucumber seeded and roughly chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest usually from 1 lemon
- 2 tablespoon lemon juice usually from 1 lemon
- 1 tablespoon champagne vinegar
- 1 shallot finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
- ⅓ cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoon Dill fresh
- ¼ cup capers drained
- 1 head butter lettuce for serving
Instructions
- Place the cooked, chopped lobster and prepared cucumber in a large bowl.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon zest, lemon juice, vinegar, shallots, salt, and pepper.
- In a slow, steady stream, pour the olive oil into the lemon mixture, whisking constantly to fully incorporate.
- Mix the dill and capers into the vinaigrette.
- Pour the vinaigrette over the lobster and cucumbers and mix gently with a large wooden spoon until fully coated.
- Cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes, or for up to 2 hours.
- Remove cover, and gently stir the salad. Serve as is, or over small butter lettuce leaves.
Notes
- Substitutes for Champagne vinegar are: white wine vinegar, Sherry vinegar, or apple cider vinegar.
- The vinaigrette can be made up to 1 day in advance. Shake the jar vigorously to re-emulsify the dressing.
- When serving this salad in a bowl, especially if serving outside, we recommend placing the bowl in a larger bowl filled with ice.
- This salad is best served within a couple of hours of preparing, but is still extremely delicious the following day.
- The salad will keep for up to 1 week in the refrigerator and freezes well for up to 1 month.
