“Lobster” Rolls recipe by Ilene Godofsky Moreno in The Colorful Family Table
From Ilene: Ross and I honeymooned on the coast of Maine, where in addition to the gorgeous cliffside beaches, there were seemingly endless roadside stands selling lobster rolls. The area where we stayed had tons of plant-based restaurant options, and we kept hoping to encounter a veganized version of a lobster roll on one of the menus, but surprisingly we never did. Of course, when we returned home I immediately got to work on this version, and it’s still one of our very favorite nostalgic summertime dishes.
