Lobster, Corn, and Potato Salad with TarragonRomulo Yanes

Buy cooked fresh lobster meat and you can whip this salad together in about 30 minutes. Cooking your own lobster, however, not only ensures the freshest flavor and the tenderest meat, but you get more bang for the buck—you can use the lobster shells to make stock and lobster oil.

Cooks' note:

Lobster may be cooked 1 day ahead
