Lobster Roll
A great lobster roll has two key ingredients: lots of succulent lobster and a soft, toasted whole-grain bun. Inspired by LA's Lobsta Truck (lobstatruck.com), born out of a New England road trip, we've lightened up the mayo schmear but managed to keep all the classic flavor intact.

Nutritional Bonus: Ounce for ounce, lobster is lower in fat and calories than boneless, skinless chicken breast (90 calories versus 160 calories in a 3 1/2-oz serving). Better yet, lobster is also rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which help to lower cholesterol and may reduce your risk of heart disease.
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp low-fat olive oil mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp nonfat plain Greek yogurt
- 1 scallion or green onion, thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh dill
- 12 oz cooked and chilled lobster meat, cut into 1/2-inch chunks
- Sea salt and fresh ground black pepper, to taste
- 4 whole-wheat top-cut hot dog buns
Preparation
- In a large bowl, combine mayonnaise, yogurt, scallion, lemon juice and dill. With a rubber spatula, fold in lobster and season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until needed. (NOTE: Mixture may be prepared in advance and refrigerated overnight.)
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Place buns on a baking sheet and toast for 4 to 6 minutes or until light golden brown. Scoop lobster mixture into buns, dividing evenly. Serve immediately.
