Chilled Lobster Salad with Sweet Summer Corn and Tomatoes

The perfect light summer salad, made with sweet summer corn, grape tomatoes, garden herbs and chilled steamed lobster. Serve this for two as a main dish salad or for four as a first course as pictured here.

I revived this one from the archives since this is the perfect time of year to make it. August is a great time to buy lobster here on Long Island,
I can usually get great specials from my local Lobster farm. And the
best part about buying my lobster from a lobster farm is that they also
steam it for me at no extra cost. It’s not that I can’t cook my own
lobster, it’s just that if given the choice, I’d rather not. If you
don’t have that luxury, here is a great video from Fine Cooking[1] that shows you how to do it.

Swap It Tip: If you don’t live near the coast and don’t have access to live lobster, you could use lump crab meat, cooked shrimp or even imitation crab instead.
