Bring on the Heat: Jalapeno Lobster Salad

Sherry Main/flickr  creative common
Sherry Main/flickr creative common

For some, it’s sinful to mess with the traditional lobster roll, but we say if you eat enough lobster rolls, an outside-the-box version is pure pleasure. This one’s for fans of spicy stuff since it’s studded with jalapenos, garlic and olives, just the way they make lobster salad in Baja, California, on the Mexican coast. You don’t have to serve this in a roll at all; if you prefer it on salad greens or as an appetizer course. Feel free to lessen or increase the heat, depending on your taste.
