Healthy Lobster Rolls (Light Mayo-Free Recipe)
These lightened-up lobster rolls use Vegenaise and a secret hit of white miso instead of heavy mayo and melted butter. They taste every bit as indulgent as the classic New England version but leave you feeling great. Ready in just 25 minutes with minimal cooking required.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon white miso paste
- 1 teaspoon boiling water for dissolving miso
- ¼ teaspoon coarse salt plus more to taste
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper plus more to taste
- 1 cup cooked lobster meat about 145g / 5oz
- 2 pieces split-top hot dog buns New England style preferred
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh chives plus extra for garnish
- ¼ cup Vegenaise egg-free mayonnaise
- 1 small clove garlic finely chopped, optional for buns
- butter or yogurt butter optional, for toasting buns
Instructions
- Spoon together the Vegenaise, mustard, miso mixture, salt, pepper and chives or other herbs. Save some herbs to top your rolls at the end.
- Gently fold the cooked lobster meat into the dressing until evenly coated. Be careful not to break the lobster pieces up too much — you want chunky bites.
- Toast the buns in a toaster or under the oven grill / broiler at 400°F / 200°C for 2–3 minutes until golden. If desired, spread a thin layer of butter or yogurt butter and a little chopped garlic on the cut sides before toasting.
- Top each sandwich with the lobster mixture, then chives or the herbs of your choice and a little more salt and pepper.
- Serve immediately while the buns are still warm. Pair with kettle chips, coleslaw, or a simple green salad.
