I used the imitation lobster. I skipped the onions and used red peppers. We enjoyed this . I think nest time I will cut back on the cukes just a tad I did find they overwhelmed the lobster just a bit. Made for Gimme 5

Oh my goodness, this was such a delicious salad...and what a treat to have lobster. I served it with a chilled bottle of champagne, and it was a very pleasant meal. I will definitely make this again, and I will not change a thing. It is excellent. Thanks, Syd. Made for "Please Review My Recipe" tag game.

Simple and delicious. I added 2 sprigs of tarragon, and used 1 teaspoon of mayo and added 1/4 cup of olive oil to make it healthier.

Oh My Syd. This is a winner. I loved the cukes in this and the lime is a wonderful change. I made as is except I left out the green peppers, they don't like me so much. I used 1/2 regular mayo and 1/2 light mayo to reduce the fat a little. I think you could make this will all light mayo and it would still taste good and creamy. Served for dinner with some crackers. I think next time I might throw in some cooked pasta and see how that turns out too. Thanks for posting.

This was yummy on tostadas! I had four packages of frozen lobster meat just waiting to find their purpose, and this was it. I used a diced jalapeno in place of the green bell pepper because I don't like green bell pepper, and I used two packets of True Lime instead of juice in the dressing because I was fresh out of limes. Because DH is such a chile-head, my parents are always gifting us with random bottles of hot sauce, so I happened to have a little bottle of Jamaican Pickapeppa Hot Red Pepper Sauce hanging out in the pantry -- perfect for my Caribbean lobster salad! DH, of course, added quite a bit more of it to his own serving, because two dashes just wasn't enough for him lol. We really liked the cuke in this -- we enjoy all sorts of seafood salads year-round, but the cucumber was the thing that made this salad really different for us. We'll definitely be enjoying this again sometime. Thanks for posting!
