This easy recipe for lobster BLT salad takes your favorite sandwich, adds seafood and turns it into a salad! And with just one lobster tail for two people it won’t break the bank.

If I ever had to make the choice between lobster and bacon (please no!) I’m honestly not sure what I would do.

Happily this will probably never happen, and even more happily, this recipe takes those two magical ingredients and puts them together in a mash-up of lobster salad and everyone’s favorite bacon sandwich!

Here’s how you make Lobster BLT Salad!

It starts, as so many delectable things do in my world, with bacon.  Chop it up, cook it up in a skillet, scoop it out but save those magical bacon drippings, because first you are going to cook the lobster in them.

I use one lobster tail for this recipe, and I cut it into pretty uniform bite-sized pieces.  And cooking the lobster in the bacon drippings…oh my goodness.

Once the lobster is done, scoop it out and now dump some fresh bread crumbs into the skillet (you can make fresh bread crumbs in a snap by whirling a piece of bread in your food processor).  Stir the crumbs in the drippings until they are golden.  Scoop ’em out.

Now divide this heavenly mixture among two plates and scatter those toasty breadcrumbs on top.

Yep.  That’s what I’m talking about.  Summer at the seashore on a plate.

Happy sigh!
