LOBSTER SALAD ON CUCUMBER SLICES

Steps:

• Chop the lobster meat into small pieces. Toss in a bowl with the mayo, yellow pepper, salt and pepper.
• Place a spoonful on each cucumber slice.

Steps:

• While lobster is cooling, cut each cucumber slice with scalloped cutter (if using), discarding trimmings. Whisk together mayonnaise, lime juice (to taste), jalapeño, salt, and a pinch of pepper.
• When lobster is cool, remove meat from claws, joints, and tail, discarding tomalley, roe, and shells. Cut meat into 1/4-inch pieces. Add lobster, mango, celery, onion, and cilantro to dressing and toss well.
• Top each cucumber round with 1 rounded teaspoon lobster salad.
