Chilled Lobster Salad with Sweet Summer Corn and Tomatoes, the perfect light summer salad made with sweet summer corn, grape tomatoes, garden herbs and chilled steamed lobster.
Lobster Salad with Corn and Tomatoes
Nothing beats a refreshing lobster dish in the summer. Some of my other favorites are Grilled Lobster Tails with Herb Garlic Butter, Lobster Tacos, and Lobster Cobb Salad.
August is a great time to buy lobster here on Long Island, I can usually get great specials from my local Lobster farm. And the best part about buying my lobster from a lobster farm is that they also steam it for me at no extra cost. It’s not that I can’t cook my own lobster, it’s just that if given the choice, I’d rather not. Serve this for two as a main dish salad or for four as a first course as pictured here.
Variations:
If you don’t live near the coast and don’t have access to live lobster, you could use lump crab meat, cooked shrimp or even imitation crab instead.
