Ingredients
Scale
Lobster Salad:
- 1 lb cooked lobster meat (claw, tail, knuckle), chopped
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped celery
- 1 tablespoon chopped chives
- Salt and pepper to taste
For Serving:
- 4 split-top brioche hot dog buns

- Old Bay seasoning (optional garnish)
- Lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine lobster meat, mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard (if using), celery, chives, salt, and pepper. Gently fold to coat the lobster without breaking it apart. Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for 20 minutes for the flavors to meld.

- Stuff each toasted bun generously with chilled lobster salad.
- Sprinkle a pinch of Old Bay seasoning if desired, and serve immediately with lemon wedges and Old Bay chips on the side.
