Southwest Lobster Rolls may seem like culinary sacrilege to some folks around here in New England, but they taste "wick'd" good & as a born and raised "New Englanda", I'll do what I darn well please with my "lobsta".
If you want a little extra zing to the sandwiches add a little of my Avocado Lime Ranch Dressing to the rolls or serve on the side as a dip for chips or fries.
Serve Kettle chips, classic macaroni salad, Hellmann's potato salad or air fryer sweet potato fries on the side for a delicious combination! For more regional flavor make my Southwest Eggrolls Chili's restaurant copycat or my Vegetarian Zucchini Boats (Mexican Style).
