Lobster Salad

Lobster, ahhhh – such a delicious treat.  I say treat because when you live in the middle of the desert –  fresh seafood isn’t so easy to come by. I love fresh seafood of all kinds really, but Lobster and I have a special bond. This salad recipe is a knock off of my favorite salad from Pappadeaux’s Seafood Restaurant. I love going there with my best friend and ordering their large Greek salad with steamed Lobster. It goes well with a nice Savanon blaunc.  Wink, wink!

For New Year’s Eve I served it as my main course – and it was a huge hit. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! YUM . . .
