  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound cooked lobster meat
  • 4 top-split hot dog buns
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • ½ teaspoon celery salt
  • Butter (for toasting)

Instructions

  • Chop the Lobster Meat (The Lobster Preparation): Chop the 1 pound cooked lobster meat into bite-sized pieces, ensuring they are easy to eat and distribute evenly within the buns.
  • Make the Dressing (The Dressing Creation): In a medium-sized bowl, mix ½ cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, and ½ teaspoon celery salt. Adjust the seasoning to taste, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice as needed to achieve the perfect balance of flavors.
