When we come across a dish like this one, where our first reaction is usually, “Wait, will that work together?”, it makes us so very happy. That’s because there’s no better way to stick to healthy dietary choices than by enjoying new things every so often.
While the combination of lobster, mango, eggs, and tomatoes may not seem like the most obvious choice, the end result is amazing – not only will you get to enjoy the sweet and salty combinations of these ingredients, but you’ll be reaping the micronutrients and other nutritional benefits of the above, all in one dish!
The best part, though? The use of pre-cooked lobster means your prep time is just as long as it takes for you to combine your ingredients, with no additional cooking required.
This dish also serves as a delicious example of how you can embrace a Paleo diet while choosing to abstain from meat. The pescatarian diet is one that allows for seafood but not other forms of meat proteins, like chicken and beef.
Since maintaining a Paleo diet is extremely difficult for those who abide by vegetarian standards, the pescatarian diet is a great way of working with Paleo while still following some of the same dietary guidelines of omitting meat altogether. While pescatarian Paleo isn’t without its challenges, there are many seafood and egg-based recipes that work well under this umbrella.
This lobster and mango salad offer a balanced macro profile as is – we think it works perfectly as a one-dish lunch option. However, looking at this, we can’t help but be reminded of that famed lobster pairing – biscuits!
Since traditional biscuits won’t work for Paleo, check out these cauliflower “breadsticks” for a fun and creative way to harken back to a biscuit pairing.
