Maine Lobster Salad at Sam’s of Gedney Way – For a nice summertime treat, the fresh Maine lobster salad at Sam’s of Gedney Way in White Plains is a delectable choice.
A thick round layer of creamy avocado rests on top of a tower of lobster salad and a circle of thin cucumber slices serves as the base. Mango, bits of red peppers and lemon vinaigrette enhance the salad’s flavor.
This generously sized dish is listed as an entree on both the lunch and dinner menus but seafood lovers might prefer it as an appetizer and follow it with cold poached salmon as a main course. It costs $24 at lunch or dinner.
Two other seafood items also tempt as starters — Thai coconut shrimp with jicama slaw and Prince Edward Island mussels steamed in Boston Lager. Each is priced at $12.50.
Executive Chef Joseph Sasso has also created a three-course, prix-fixe dinner menu available Sunday through Wednesday. Patrons chose from seven appetizers, five entrees and eight desserts. The cost is $28.95 per person.
The appetizers are gazpacho, baked sweet onion soup, Rhode Island style crispy calamari, Thai coconut shrimp, PEI steamed mussels, Caesar salad, “Waldorf” wheat berry salad and gluten-free penne Bolognese.
The entrees are slow-roasted salmon, boneless half-chicken under brick, pecan-crusted chicken breast, grilled marinated sliced petite filet of beef and eggplant gratin.
For dessert, patrons can choose from sorbet, biscotti, cheesecake, “Death by Chocolate,” espresso gelato, Ring Ding, lemon parfait and Nutella gluten-free lemon parfait.
