Lobster Mango Jalapeno Salad

Appetizers, Gluten Free, Seafood, Vegetarian7 Responses »

Arriving home after a week away, rather skidding to a quick stop with tons of laundry.

I found myself rushing to get the house in order and pull together a quick appetizer for a friends 50th cocktail party.

Lucky for me we have a fabulous fish market just around the corner.

I was thinking something with shrimp but just as I arrived at the market a new batch of cooked lobster was placed into the display case.

Lucky me! I love lobster, who doesn’t? It screams special occasion. And this was.

After a quick stop at the grocery for some celery, mango (no mango try papaya), red onion, cilantro and jalapeno.

I ran home and mixed up the fixins with some mayo with hot sauce, easy huh?

You can serve this on top of cucumber slices, as I did, or piled in a center bowl surrounded with crackers. Or spooned onto a bowl of lettuce for a easy salad at home.

Start adding your cooked lobster to a large bowl (click here for cooking instructions). Add celery, chopped nice and small, same with the red onion, jalapeno, then mango mix it up.


Combine the mayo and hot sauce, I used Sriracha (think I am addicted!) and squeeze of lime.
Add to lobster mixture. Sprinkle in cilantro and mix.

Spoon onto cucumber slices or endive leaves. Add a few drops of Siracha on top and a sprinkle of cilantro.
