Lobster & Heirloom Tomato Salad

LOBSTER & HEIRLOOM TOMATO SALAD WITH LOBSTER ROLL DRESSING

It doesn’t take much convincing for me to have a salad for lunch or dinner. In fact, we pretty much eat one every day for lunch, and adding some delicious seafood just sounded like perfection.

Of course I had to get the freshest of fresh seafood at Heinens, and I’m pretty obsessed with their lobster claw meat that they sell cooked already. I mean, no brainer for me.

And of course one of my favorite sandwiches aside from poboys and muffulettas is the lobster roll. So I wanted to make a lobster roll dressing for this salad to toss the lobster meat in.
