Lobster Salad Croissant

 

Lobster Salad Croissant — A Taste of Luxury in Every Bite

Buttery croissants meet a creamy, lemon-bright lobster salad — perfect for brunch, a picnic, or an elegant lunch at home.

Prep: 15–20 minutes • Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 2 cups cooked lobster meat, chopped — the sweet star of the dish
• 2 tbsp mayonnaise — provides creaminess and binds the salad
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard — a subtle tang to balance richness
• 1 tsp lemon juice — brightens flavors and keeps lobster fresh
• 1 tbsp celery, finely chopped — crunchy freshness
• 1 tbsp red onion, finely chopped — light savory bite
• Salt & pepper, to taste
• 4 large croissants, sliced open (optional: lettuce or baby greens)

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice until smooth.
2. Gently fold in the lobster meat, celery, and red onion, taking care not to break up the lobster chunks.
3. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Chill in the refrigerator for about 15–20 minutes to let the flavors meld.
4. Slice the croissants horizontally and lightly toast if you like extra texture.
5. Optional: layer a crisp lettuce leaf on the croissant base, then spoon the lobster salad on top. Close gently and serve immediately.

Pro Tip

For an extra touch of luxury, drizzle a little melted butter over the lobster before assembling. Serve with chilled white wine or sparkling lemonade for a restaurant-quality experience at home.
