Easy Lobster Salad

Easy Lobster Salad

1 lb. fully cooked lobster meat or 5 lb. live lobsters

1 medium cucumber, 5 to 6 oz., peeled, seeded and finely diced

1/2 C. mayonnaise, more if needed

3 small scallions, white and most of the green parts, thinly sliced

kosher or sea salt

freshly ground black pepper

If using live lobsters, steam and remove the meat when cooled. Cut the meat into 1 inch dice.

Place the cucumber in a colander for at least 5 minutes to drain the excess liquid. Combine the lobster, cucumber and mayonnaise.

If the salad is to be served within the hour, add the scallions. If not, add them 30 minutes before serving. Season with salt, if needed, and pepper.

Cover with plastic wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes before serving.
