Spark the Fourth of July fun with this tasty summer dish! Pasta salad just got an upgrade inspired by the traditional New England lobster roll – and it couldn’t be any easier!

With just a few ingredients, and a small amount of prep time, this dish will be the life of the party. Furthermore, one stop shopping at Snug Harbor Fish Company makes for even less stress! Now you can pre-order local lobster meat in time for the holiday and grab your fresh produce upon pickup!

All you will need is:

• Local Lobster Meat (1.5 lbs)

• Mayonnaise (1 cup)
• Lemon (1 tbsp lemon juice)

Then prepare in just a few steps:

1. First, bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add pasta and cook until al dente.
