The anniversary celery salad is far from ordinary. It’s a surprisingly simple, yet incredibly flavorful, side dish that perfectly complements the rich lobster. The fresh tarragon adds a depth that you won't find in other recipes. Trust me on this. I've tried it with parsley and it was less amazing.

🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- First things first: Get your lobster. If you're buying pre-cooked, make sure it's high-quality. If you're cooking your own (which sounds way more impressive!), make sure to cook it properly – no one likes rubbery lobster. Oh, and don't overcook it!.
- Okay, now let's tackle that amazing anniversary celery salad. Wash and chop 2 cups of celery into 1/4-inch pieces. (Yes, it is tedious, but it makes a difference, trust me.)
- In a big bowl, combine the celery with 1/4 cup mayonnaise. I'm not kidding, it's seriously delicious. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. A teaspoon of celery seed would be a nice touch, too! This salad is the unsung hero of this dish, don't skimp on the celery!
- Finely chop 1/4 cup fresh tarragon leaves—or substitute with parsley if that’s what you have on hand. (I know, I know...fresh herbs. Fancy! But they really do elevate this dish. If you can do it, do it.) Stir the tarragon into the celery and mayonnaise mixture.
- And finally, the rolls! Get your lobster meat. I'm personally a fan of the classic New England lobster roll – that's butter toasted hotdog rolls, but you can use whatever suits your fancy! Toast the rolls lightly to give them a nice crispy texture—but don't burn them!
- Okay, the lobster. Gently toss it with 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise to moisten it up but don't overdo it. Make sure to gently mix it and do not break the lobster meat.
- Now we stuff those rolls like we mean it! Pile that delicious lobster generously into each toasted roll, top it off with the beautiful celery salad, and give it a little extra pepper if you like.
- And there you have it! Elegant, delicious, and relatively easy. If you messed up, just add more butter. We won't tell anyone. Just don't overcook that lobster.
📝 Notes
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of celery seed to the salad.
- You can use any type of bread roll; brioche works great!
- Don't overcook the lobster—it'll be tough!
