Fabulous Friday - Crabmeat Spread with Crudites

Planning to entertain this holiday season, and want to serve something you can actually enjoy?

Steer clear of the traditional cookies and cakes.

Here's an alternative that is absolutely fabulous!!!

Crabmeat Spread with Crudites
A picture-perfect addition to any holiday spread, this crabmeat pomegranate dip is low in calories compared with the typical veggie dip. Light mayo is the only ingredient that adds a few fat calories; otherwise this holiday appetizer is protein-packed and full of flavor.


Makes 16 appetizer servings

8 oz lump crabmeat, drained and shell pieces removed

4 tbsp light mayonnaise

1 tbsp finely chopped green scallion tops or chives

1 tbsp fresh lime or lemon juice

Assorted crudités (red pepper strips, cucumber slices, and carrot sticks)

1/2 cup pomegranate seeds

Mix crabmeat with mayonnaise, scallions, and lime juice. Mound crabmeat mixture in the center of a platter and sprinkle with pomegranate seeds. Arrange colorful vegetables around the plate.
