| Lobster Salad in Endive from Amy Kanarios
Makes 24 appetizers; serves 6 to 8 If you want to be good to yourself and your guests at the same time, ask your fish store to sell you cooked fresh lobster meat, instead of cooking a lobster yourself. This is a great summer appetizer or a special treat for New Year's Eve. This recipe is also good, and not quite so expensive, with cooked shrimp or crabmeat. You'll see that a little salad makes a lot of appetizers. |

| Combine the lobster, mayonnaise, celery, capers, dill, salt, and pepper.
With a sharp knife, cut off the base of the endive and separate the leaves.
Use a teaspoon to fill the end of each endive leaf with lobster salad.
Arrange on a platter and serve.
Connie Wheeler adds, "Make sure you use real lobster though. I was perusing
through my carbohydrate counter just yesterday at fish and seafood and
noticed that the fake lobster or crab is really pretty high in carbohydrates
at 8.5 carbs per 3 oz.
