Lighten Up Don't skip the butter or mayo In some lobster roll preparations, the outside of the toasted bun is buttered (to give the sandwich an extra layer of flavor) and heaps of mayonnaise are added to the dressing (to keep it creamy). These techniques make a delicious sandwich but also drive up the calories. This version uses butter on the rolls and mayonnaise in the dressing, but in reduced amounts, which saves around 1,000 calories.
