Notes

*Or 1 cup cooked lobster meat.

Storage: Cold lobster salad needs to be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Taste for seasonings and stir well before serving.

Salads like this start to lose flavor when they sit chilled, so it might need an extra touch of salt or fresh spritz of fresh lemon juice.

Freezing: I do not recommend freezing cream-based salads like this. The texture will not be the same upon thawing.
