Preparation

Step 1
Place the pickles, raw zucchini, water, buttermilk, salt and 1 tablespoon of the pickling liquid in a blender and process until smooth. Scrape into a bowl and refrigerate until cold. Stir in the bell peppers, onion and almonds. Divide among 4 bowls and garnish with the lobster meat, if using. Serve immediately. (The remaining pickling liquid can be reheated and used to make more pickles, if desired.)
