4 servings

Ingredients:

• 2 1/2 pounds live lobsters, cooked and meat removed, or 8 ounces cooked lobster meat, cut into 1/2-inch chunks
• 1 pound red bliss potatoes, cooked and cut into 1/2-inch dice
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 3 tablespoons chopped shallots
• 1/2 cup chopped lovage leaves
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• Red leaf lettuce for garnish
• Chopped fresh chives for garnish

In a large bowl, combine the lobster and potatoes. Toss gently, to keep the potatoes from breaking up.

In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, shallots, parsley and lovage leaves. Combine well. Add the mayonnaise mixture to the lobster and potato mixture and toss gently until combined. Season with salt and pepper.

Line 4 salad plates with the lettuce, and mound the salad on top. Sprinkle with chives.
