TARRAGON LOBSTER SALAD
From Gourmet magazine, July, 2001 by Melissa Roberts-Matar. "This lobster salad is wonderful on its own-but piled onto a hot dog bun it becomes a perfect lobster roll. The lobsters may be cooked and shelled 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. The salad can also be made a day ahead of serving. Keep covered and chilled.
