Ingredients

  • 1/4-1/3 lb cooked, chilled lobster meat cut into bite-sized chunks
  • 1 celery rib finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp sweet onion finely chopped
  • 1 scant tbsp mayo
  • 1 /2 cup sea beans optional
  • 2 slices whole wheat bread
  • 2 romaine leaves rib removed
  • 8-10 kettle style potato chips

Instructions

  • Combine the lobster, celery, onion and mayo to make lobster salad.
  • Blanch the (optional) sea beans and immediately rinse with cool water to stop the cooking.
  • Top each slice of bread with 1 romaine leaf and half of the lobster salad.
  • Divide sea beans and top each sandwich with half. Cover each sandwich with potato chips--you must use kettle chips, which are extra thick and crunchy--in place of a top slice of bread.

Notes

You can also use a scoop of the lobster salad as a topping for a green salad. Top it with crumbled potato chips for a low-carb lobster treat.
