Method

Cooking Lobster

  1. 1

    Prepare Lobster

    In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water and 1 tsp of salt to a boil.

  2. 2

    Cook Lobster

    Add the lobster tails to the boiling water and cover. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, or until the lobster meat is opaque and the shells turn bright red.

  3. 3

    Cool and Remove Meat

    Remove the lobster tails from the pot and let them cool for a few minutes. Once cool, remove the lobster meat from the shells and chop it into bite-sized pieces.

Making the Salad

  1. 4

    Mix Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the chopped lobster meat, chopped celery, diced red onion, mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, black pepper, and fresh dill. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly coated.

  2. 5

    Chill the Salad

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the lobster salad for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.

  3. 6

    Serve

    To serve, place lettuce leaves on a plate and spoon the lobster salad on top. Enjoy!
