Recipe Of The Day: Spicy Lobster Cobb Salad Rolls


Seafood and salad, what a great combination. There is nothing like having a fresh salad with the right dressing topped off with either some delicious Tiger Shrimp, blackened Salmon or grilled Lobster, we are going to use Lobster today because we feel like it works great with the vinaigrette. 
The citrus and Balsamic Vinegar in the vinaigrette mixed with the crisp lettuce and juicy lobster meat is like an explosion of flavor in each bite. True Lobster can be a bit expensive but if you catch your local store at just the right time you can either get some amazing fresh Lobster tails at a phenomenal price or as a substitute some great priced King Crab Legs & Claws.
This salad is great for any day of the week because it truly doesn't take much time to make and is rather inexpensive depending on what form of seafood you choose to run with and is really healthy for you.
If your going to try for the lower carb style of meal, forget the roll all together and double your salad serving.
Enjoy!
