Can I buy pre-cooked lobster meat for this recipe?

If you aren't up to either steaming your own lobster or having your grocery store do it, you can use pre-cooked lobster meat, which you can sometimes find in the freezer section of your store. My favorite kind is from Cozy Harbor .

Can I leave out the wine?

Yep! You may find that the dressing is okay without it - if you do want to loosen it up a little more, you can use clam juice or even a little water.

Can this recipe be made ahead of time?

It sure can! As a matter of fact, letting it lounge around in the fridge for a few hours will only deepen the flavors. YUM!

Instructions

Put the potatoes in a pot, cover with water and bring to a boil. Simmer until tender, 15-20 minutes. Drain until cool enough to handle and then cut any bigger ones in half.
Make dressing by combining all dressing ingredients. Thin with a little milk if needed.
Place potatoes, lobster, celery and dressing in a mixing bowl. Mix gently with clean hands until well coated with dressing.
At this point you can serve, or you can chill it down in the fridge for a few hours. Right before serving, garnish with chives and capers.
