FRESH LIME PIE (BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS)



Fresh Lime Pie (British Virgin Islands) image

This recipe was featured on week 37 of my food blog, "Travel by Stove." I am attempting to cook one meal from every nation on Earth, and the British Virgin Islands is my 37th stop. Unless otherwise noted, my Travel by Stove recipes are taken from authentic or traditional sources, and this recipe has been posted without any alternations or additions to the ingredients. This recipe originally appeared in The Sugar Mill Caribbean Cookbook, but I have altered it to use the crust from a different Sugar Mill pie recipe (coconut cloud tart). The original recipe simply called for a refrigerated pie crust.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh lobster meat. If you're using frozen lobster meat, thaw it completely before using.
  • Be sure to remove the tough membrane from the lobster meat before cooking.
  • If you're using a store-bought mayonnaise, look for one that is made with olive oil or avocado oil. These oils will give the salad a richer flavor.
  • Add some chopped fresh herbs, such as chives, dill, or tarragon, to the salad for extra flavor.
  • Serve the salad on a bed of lettuce or arugula.

Conclusion:

Lobster salad is a delicious and refreshing dish that is perfect for a summer meal. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its combination of sweet lobster, creamy mayonnaise, and fresh herbs, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
