Lobster BLT Rolls

Pin It PIN IT!

It may be 55 degrees here this morning, but it’s SO DREARY. It’s windy, grey, rainy and super foggy, which makes it even harder to get out of bed on a Monday morning. Despite the weather, I’m feeling quite summery/Caribbean today. I blame the mint colored pedicure I got yesterday but I can’t get visions of white sandy beaches, bikinis and palm trees out of my brain. To celebrate my summer state of mind, I’m sharing a recipe I made last week for lobster BLT rolls. You really can’t get more summer than that.

BLT lobster roll

Y’all went crazy for this photo when I shared it on Facebook and Instagram, so I’m convinced the rest of y’all are ready for warmer weather too :) But even in the dead of winter, this roll is incredible. The tangy lobster salad, the crunchy bacon, the fresh arugula and juicy tomatoes are just so perfect together, I wonder why I haven’t seen them paired before. I’m salivating again just looking at this gorgeous sandwich and remembering how incredible it tasted.

Chobani lobster roll

Now, I know BLT’s aren’t often synonmous with healthy eating. Which is precisely why I took on the challenge of lighting it up! Instead of heavy mayo and full-fat bacon, I subbed in 2% Chobani and turkey bacon! And trust me guys, you can’t taste a bit of difference. Each juicy, crunchy and scrumptious bite tastes like a warm, perfect summer day. Paired with your favorite IPA, this is the perfect dinner to beat those winter blues.

Since I couldn’t eat this with my toes in the sand and the sound of the rolling ocean, I enjoyed it while watching the cinematic genius also known as Blue Crush. If you can’t have the ocean, you can at least have the eye candy that is known as Matthew Davis shirtless.

  10. Posted by a farmer in the dell on Monday, January 14th, 2013 This looks amazing!!! I love that you subbed in greek yogurt for the mayo. However, I have a bacon addiction, so I think I'm going to stick to the pig for this one. (I need to work on that)!

    • Posted by claire on Tuesday, January 15th, 2013 HAHA! No, I fully admire this bacon addiction :)
  11. Posted by Julia Mueller on Monday, January 14th, 2013 Lobster roll from heaven, here I come! Wow, Claire this is a fully loaded sandwich of deliciousness and I love that you use Greek yogurt in place of mayo! And the lobster! I would love to be sitting on a beach in a bikini soaking up the sun with one of these lobster rolls next to me!
