Ingredients Needed:

• 1 pound (450g) cooked lobster meat, medium-diced
• 1 cup (120g) celery, small-diced (about 3 ribs)
• ¾ cup (180ml) good mayonnaise (e.g., Hellmann’s or Best)
• 2½ tablespoons (37.5ml) freshly squeezed lemon juice, divided
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 3 ripe avocados, halved, pitted, and peeled
• 6 potato rolls, lightly toasted (see note)

How To Cook Lobster Avocado Sandwiches:

1. Prepare Lobster Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the lobster, celery, mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon (15ml) of lemon juice, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon pepper. Mix well and set aside.
2. Make Avocado Spread: In another bowl, mix the avocados with the remaining 1½ tablespoons (22.5ml) of lemon juice, 1½ teaspoons salt, and ¾ teaspoon pepper. Mash coarsely with a fork.
3. Assemble Sandwiches: Place the bottom halves of the rolls on a board. Spread each with the avocado mixture. Top with the lobster mixture. Add the roll tops and serve at room temperature.

Recipe Tips

• Use Fresh Lobster Meat: For the best flavor, use freshly cooked lobster meat rather than pre-packaged or frozen options. It makes a big difference in taste and texture.
• Toast the Rolls Lightly: Lightly toasting the potato rolls adds a bit of crunch and prevents them from becoming soggy when filled with the lobster mixture and avocado spread.
• Mash Avocados Just Right: Coarsely mash the avocados to keep some texture. This adds a nice contrast to the creamy lobster mixture.
• Season Generously: Don’t skimp on the salt and pepper in both the lobster and avocado mixtures. Proper seasoning enhances the flavors and brings out the best in each ingredient.
• Assemble Just Before Serving: For the freshest taste and best texture, assemble the sandwiches right before serving. This helps keep the rolls crisp and the fillings fresh

How To Store & Reheat Leftovers

• Refrigerate: Let the leftover Lobster Avocado Sandwiches cool to room temperature. Then, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or store them in an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to 2 days.
• Reheating: Reheat leftover Lobster Avocado Sandwiches by placing them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-10 minutes until warmed through. Avoid microwaving as it can make the rolls soggy.
