Maine Dogs

Ingredients

Makes: 4 servings

• Salt and pepper

• 1 1⁄2 cups peeled, seeded, and diced cucumber

• 1 pound fully cooked lobster tail meat, chopped

• 1⁄2 cup olive oil mayonnaise

• 2 scallions, thinly sliced

• 2 teaspoons minced tarragon

• 2 teaspoons lemon juice

• 1 teaspoon Italian dressing mix

• Butter, for toasting

• 4 hot dog buns or sandwich rolls

Directions

Lightly salt cucumber, wrap in paper towels, and allow water to drain for about 10 minutes. Pat dry with fresh paper towels.

In a medium bowl, combine cucumber, lobster, mayonnaise, scallions, tarragon, and lemon juice. Season with pepper to taste. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes to 1 hour.

Lightly butter hot dog buns. In a large heavy skillet, toast buttered buns until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side.

Spoon the chilled lobster salad onto the warm buns.
