mayonnaise

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: sour cream

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess.

hot dog buns

🥗Healthier: whole grain rolls

💰Cheaper: plain sandwich bread

Whole grain rolls add fiber, while sandwich bread is often less expensive.

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil offers heart-healthy fats, while margarine is cost-effective.

In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the lobsters until they turn red, about 8 to 10 minutes.

Allow the lobsters to cool, then remove the meat and chop into ½-inch pieces.

Place a skillet over medium heat and add a tablespoon of butter. Toast the buns on both sides. Reserve.

In a mixing bowl, combine the lobster meat with the red onion, celery, lemon juice and mayonnaise. Season with salt and pepper.

Fill the toasted buns with the lobster mixture and garnish with chopped chives.
