Delicious, easy and versatile!! you can use Crab meat instead of Lobster. Add some avocado in cubes for perfection.

I made this for a gathering of ladies. I did however change from lobster to chuncks of Polish ham. It was delicious. They all wanted the recipe. I'll be making it again. I would like to have nutrition information.

I made this salad for a birthday party where there were 20 guests. I made it the day before the party except I put the seafood and the tomatoes in the day of the party and it turned out just great. I listened to other reviews and did not add all of the dill or all of the salt. I also used shrimp and crab since I could not find cooked lobster and I did not want to cook it myself. Everyone loved the salad and there was very little left. I would make this again.

FABULOUS!! My husband ate 2 helpings before the serving bowl made it into the fridge! I live in the Midwest, lobster was not an option, so 2 pounds of large Shrimp were my substitute. I used the recommended amount of KOSHER salt, but only had about half of the fresh dill. We all agreed that more dill may have overpowered the salad. My picky-eater college daughters think this salad should be served with every summer meal! As always, Ina, you are the BEST!! Thanks!

I was disappointed. I bought me some quality lobster, sweet, sweet corn, and Ina's dressing was bright and delightful. But put it all together? It ended up being less than the sum of its parts. Why mess around with delicacies like that? Lobster and corn should be eaten in their purest form, and I just felt that putting it all together into a pasta salad diluted the enjoyment of the quality ingredients. My advice if you're going to try this -- go less on the pasta so the lobster really gets its due. And I'd go extremely light on the dill.

This was absolutely delicious. Lobster prices are down this summer and readily available at the market. I did add peas as some reviewers suggested. However, when posting a review of a "lobster and pasta" salad, how in heavens name can you possibly give any rating if you're using chicken thighs or cucumbers as a substitute for the lobster?

Made it yesterday after I got home from weight watchers. modified it a bit, no seafood, added diced cucumber, used whole wheat pasta, fat free mayo and light sour cream. It is delicious I will be making this over and over all year round. My daughter wants shrimp in it next time so I will be trying that. Wonderful recipe.

This is one of my favorite pasta salads to make! I used all shrimp instead of lobster and added pepporccinis and substituted out the dill and used parsley and basil, some not dill fans. I would make sure to char up the corn next time, I didn't do that.

Just made this today and it is amazing!! Instead of using just lobster since it is expensive, I used 2 lobster tails, snow crab, and some shrimp. I would definately make this again. I also am not a fan of salt, so I only added salt to the water and that was it, I think that is way to much salt to add.
