Lobster Salad with Corn and Tomatoes

Nothing beats a refreshing lobster dish in the summer. This salad combines all my summer favorites with sweet tomatoes and corn. It’s hearty and high protein, and did I mention delicious? If you hearty high protein salads like this, you might also enjoy this Salmon Nicoise 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.
