Healthy Lobster Roll Sandwich Recipe
This lobster roll sandwich offers a flavorful and healthy twist on an easy lobster roll recipe. With creamy Greek yogurt, fresh lobster, and whole-wheat buns, it’s a wholesome summer delight.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup nonfat plain Greek-style yogurt or 2/3 cup regular, plain nonfat yogurt
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 stalk celery, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon chopped scallion greens (about 1 scallion)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 pound cooked lobster meat or cooked shrimp, cut into 1/3-inch pieces (about 2 1/2 cups)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 4 whole-wheat hot dog buns
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Instructions
- If using regular yogurt, line a strainer with paper towels and place over a bowl. Add yogurt to the strainer and let it drain for 20 minutes to thicken.
- In a medium bowl, combine the thickened yogurt or Greek yogurt with mayonnaise, celery, scallions, and fresh lemon juice. Stir until smooth.
- Fold the lobster meat into the yogurt mixture, ensuring everything is evenly coated. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper to taste, then chill the mixture until ready to serve.
- Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. While the pan heats, brush the insides of the hot dog buns with olive oil.
- Grill the buns, cut side down, for about 3 minutes or until they’re golden brown and crispy.
- Scoop about 3/4 cup of the lobster filling into each toasted bun. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
To customize, replace buns with lettuce wraps for low-carb or gluten-free options; swap lobster with shrimp for a budget-friendly version.
