Lobster Salad--No. 1 Recipe ingredients

To prepare this Lobster Salad--No. 1 Recipe, first cut the meat from a fresh, well-boiled lobster into small dice, then set it on ice while you make a good mayonnaise dressing. When you have made the dressing set that on ice also. Have ready 1/3 as much celery as you have lobster, cut into half-inch lengths. Mix the lobster meat and the celery together, sprinkle with salt and cayenne, then stir in a cupful of the mayonnaise. Arrange 2 or 3 crisp lettuce leaves together in the form of a shell; cover a platter with these shells and put 2 or 3 teaspoonfuls of the salad in each. Garnish with the lobster's claws and hard-boiled eggs, cut into lengths, lengthwise.
