LOBSTER SALAD COCKTAIL

Steps:

• Combine mayonnaise, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt and pepper, celery, shallot, tarragon and chives in a bowl.
• Add lobster meat to mayonnaise sauce and combine.
• Rub the rim of 4 martini glasses with a lemon. Dip the rim in some dry rub. Divide the lobster salad between the 4 glasses. Garnish with dry rub and lemon slices.

CLASSIC LOBSTER SALAD

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Toss the cooked, diced lobster meat with lemon juice and the celery.
• Gently stir in mayonnaise and then season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Mound the lobster salad on lettuce leaves with a wedge of avocado, cucumber and tomatoes.
• This lobster salad can also be used as the sandwich filling for a lobster roll in a sweet bun or in traditional toasted hot dog buns with lettuce.

LOBSTER SALAD CANAPES

Steps:

• Plunge lobster headfirst into a 6- to 8-quart pot of boiling salted water. Cook lobster, partially covered, over moderately high heat 9 minutes from time it enters water, then transfer with tongs to sink to cool.
• While lobster is cooling, cut each cucumber slice with scalloped cutter (if using), discarding trimmings. Whisk together mayonnaise, lime juice (to taste), jalapeño, salt, and a pinch of pepper.
• When lobster is cool, remove meat from claws, joints, and tail, discarding tomalley, roe, and shells. Cut meat into 1/4-inch pieces. Add lobster, mango, celery, onion, and cilantro to dressing and toss well.
• Top each cucumber round with 1 rounded teaspoon lobster salad.

CRAB SALAD CANAPES

Steps:

• Heat a grill to hot, or turn on the broiler. Cook bell pepper until it is completely charred, turning so all sides cook evenly, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer warm pepper to a small bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and set aside until cool.
• Using your hands, rub off charred skin. Slice pepper in half, and remove seeds and stem. Cut pepper into diamond shapes that are slightly larger than a piece of baguette.
• Using a wooden spoon, mix together butter and two mustards in a small bowl until well combined. Spread a generous dollop of mustard butter on each slice of bread.
• Place remaining ingredients except marjoram in a medium bowl, and toss to combine. Place a pepper diamond on each piece of bread, and top with a mound of crab salad. Garnish each canape with several marjoram leaves, and serve.

LOBSTER SALAD

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix together the lobster meat, yellow peppers, celery, onion, mayonnaise and pepper until evenly combined. Chill before serving.

LOBSTER SALAD WITH GREENS AND CITRUS VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Prepare an ice-water bath. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low. Plunge lobsters into water headfirst, and simmer, covered, for 11 minutes. (Do not let water boil.) Transfer lobsters to ice-water bath using tongs. Let stand for 10 minutes to cool.
• Meanwhile, whisk together oil, zests and juices, mustard, shallot, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
• Crack lobster claws, knuckles, and tails, and remove meat. Slice tail meat 1/2 inch thick, and leave claws and knuckles whole.
• Combine lobster, greens, tomato, and tarragon. Drizzle with dressing, and toss to coat. Garnish with tarragon. Serve immediately.

LOBSTER CANAPES

Steps:

• 1. Toast the bread on 1 side only; trim off crusts. 2. Spread the slices with mayonnaise or Tartare Sauce. 3. Mix the lobster, celery, salt and paprika and spread on the toast. 4. Mix the cheese, cream or evaporated milk and French Dressing. Force through a pastry tube in a garnish around the edges of the toast. 5. Cut each slice in 4 squares. Place a slice of olive and a water cress leaf in the center of each square. Makes 48 canapes. Or leave slices uncut and serve each, on a small plate with a fork, at the table, as a first-course canape.

LUSCIOUS LOBSTER SALAD

HOT LOBSTER CANAPES

Steps:

• Drain lobster. Mince meat very fine or grind. Add seasonings, sherry and mayonnaise. Pile mixture on small rounds of toast or crackers and place under broiler until sauce bubbles.

LOBSTER SALAD ON CUCUMBER SLICES

Steps:

• Peel and slice the cucumber into 1/8-inch-thick slices. (They need to be a little thick to support the weight of the lobster salad.) Reserve in a bowl of cold water until you're ready to assemble the appetizers.
• Chop the lobster meat into small pieces. Toss in a bowl with the mayo, yellow pepper, salt and pepper.
• Place a spoonful on each cucumber slice.
