Ingredients
- 8 oz Surimi crab flakes
- 2 tb Coleslaw dressing; light;
- 4 tb Fat-free plain yogurt;
- 1/2 Celery stalk or 3 Tbs diced
- 1 Handful baby spinach leaves;
- 2 tb Chopped fresh cilantro or
- 1 ds Cayenne pepper; optional
- 4 lg Croissants; 2-oz each; or
- 1 tb Fresh lime juice
- Salt and black pepper
Preparation
Rinse the surimi to separate the flakes. Drain well. Transfer to a bowl and break flakes into small flakes with a pastry cutter (or coarsely chop). Add the lime juice, salt and pepper and toss to moisten. Add the coleslaw dressing and yogurt. Mix well to coat. Add the celery, spinach, cilantro and hot pepper, if using. Mix well. Adjust salt and pepper and lime juice. Let stand about 10 minutes at room temperature. Serve a scoop in a sandwich, in a cored whole tomato, or on a bed of lettuce. Excellent with crescants or Parker house rolls, warmed. [Per serving: without croissant: 74 cals, 1g fat (12%); with large buttery croissant 306 cals, 13g fat (38%)] NOTES : This is a favorite. It needs good ingredients: Hidden Valley Ranch Light Coleslaw is lemony and the Dannon fat free yogurt with acidophilus is very smooth. We like cilantro and lime, but weve used other herbs when fresh. Guests like this. It is always a winner.
