This lobster pasta salad features succulent chunks of lobster tossed with al dente pasta, crunchy celery, scallions, and a creamy dressing made with mayonnaise, lemon juice, and fresh herbs. It’s served chilled for a refreshing, elegant meal or side dish.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 pound cooked lobster meat, cut into bite-sized chunks

  • ¾ pound small pasta (such as shells or elbow macaroni)

  • 1 cup celery, finely diced

  • ½ cup scallions, thinly sliced

  • ¾ cup good-quality mayonnaise

  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest

  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped (or parsley if preferred)

  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

Step 1: Cook the pasta

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking. Set aside to cool.

Step 2: Prepare the dressing

In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, lemon zest, dill, salt, and pepper until smooth.

Step 3: Assemble the salad

In a large bowl, combine the cooled pasta, lobster meat, celery, and scallions. Pour the dressing over the top and toss gently to combine, ensuring everything is evenly coated.

Step 4: Chill before serving

Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the salad to chill thoroughly.

Step 5: Garnish and serve

Before serving, garnish with extra dill or a few lemon wedges if desired. Serve cold.
