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, born out of a New England road trip, we’ve lightened up the mayo schmear but managed to keep all the classic flavor intact.
And 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). Lobster is also rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which help to lower cholesterol and may reduce your risk of heart disease. So it’s not only delicious, it’s good for you!
