Classic Lobster Rolls

Ingredients:

• 4 frozen lobster tails, defrosted (about 1 1/2 lbs.)
• 1 small celery stalk, finely chopped
• 1 tbsp minced red onion
• 1 tbsp mayonnaise
• 1 tbsp chopped tarragon leaves
• 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
• 1/4 tsp salt
• freshly ground pepper
• 4 whole-wheat hot dogs, lightly toasted (optional)

Makes 4 Servings

1.  Fill a large saucepan with enough water to come 1/2 inch up the side of the pan; cover and bring to a simmer. Add lobster tails, return to a simmer, and partially cover. Cook until lobster is opaque throughout, about 8 minutes. Remove lobster from the pan and let cool. When cool enough to handle, remove shells and chop lobster meat into bite-size pieces.
2. In a medium bowl, combine lobster, celery, onion, mayonnaise, tarragon, lemon juice and salt. Season with pepper to taste. Divide lobster salad among 4 rolls, if using, and serve.

Note: This recipe appears in the South Beach Diet Taste of Summer Cookbook. I was on a business trip to Boston recently and I picked up some lobster meat from Legal Seafoods. Legal Seafood has the best seafood in America and I highly recommend eating at Legal Seafoods. Frozen lobster tails are convenient but you can purchase 1 1/2 lbs. of fresh lobster meat for sandwiches to save time. Lobster meat is really fishy but delicous. This simple dish is perfect for summer and a great comfort food.
