• 4 cups mixed greens or butter lettuce
• 1 large ripe avocado (sliced)
• 1 cup grape tomatoes (halved)

Directions

Step 1

1. Prepare the lobster: Ensure the lobster meat is fully cooked and cooled if not using pre-cooked lobster. Roughly chop the lobster meat into bite-sized pieces.

Step 2

2. Make the dressing: In a small mixing bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, fresh lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well-combined.

3. Toss the salad base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced celery and chopped chives. Add in the prepared dressing and gently mix to coat the ingredients evenly.

Step 4

4. Fold in the lobster: Gently fold the chopped lobster meat into the bowl with the dressing, being careful not to break the delicate pieces. Ensure the lobster is evenly coated without overmixing.

Step 5

5. Assemble the salad: On a large serving platter or individual plates, arrange the mixed greens or butter lettuce as the base. Top the greens with the dressed lobster mixture.

Step 6

6. Garnish and serve: Add the avocado slices and halved grape tomatoes around the lobster salad for a pop of color and extra flavor. Optionally, garnish with additional fresh chives or a light drizzle of olive oil.
