Back to TopI made this recipe for Block Island Lobster Salad, exactly as written - and it was absolutely delicious. So light & refreshing on a hot summer day! I make lots of seafood salads during the summer months and this one just got added to our rotation. I purchased frozen lobster from Costco and it worked out just fine. Just make sure you pat it with paper towels once it thaws and before you add it to the salad so that you get the full benefit of the yummy citrus dressing. I did add some Old Bay Seasoning to the lobster before mixing it with the dressing mixture and greens.

Very good; store didn’t have chives so i subbed green onions and decided to spice up the dressing by with minced ginger and garlic. I also decided to mince up some of my birds eye chili’s and add them to the salad for some heat. I overloaded on the lime juice as I grow my own limes. Lastly I doubled the lobster to make it more appealing for dinner for my partner.
