How To Crab

By Tanis Boganis

The best thing about this cold crab dip recipe is that you can eat more than your share and have no guilt about packing on extra pounds. So if you have just finished a hard work out in your jazzercise class or you’ve been Sweatin’ to the Oldies with Richard Simmons then this is the best reward.

Here’s to good health, low calories and zero carbs!

If you spread this on top of cucumber slices instead of crackers it becomes a refreshing healthy snack that is suitable for most weight loss diets, like the South Beach Diet or, Atkins: the Ultimate Diet for Shedding Weight and Feeling Great or the now popular 17 Day Diet: A Doctor’s Plan Designed for Rapid Results
.

Not only can you razzle dazzle your dinner guests with your new svelte body shape, you can also show off your food art with these looks-to-good-to-be-eaten crab-atizers.

I like this crab dip because it’s really easy to make and I usually have all the ingredients on hand. (And because of all the health benefits)

There’s a bit of heat from the jalapeno pepper and some zing from the lemon but not enough to over power the sweetness of the crab meat.

FYI Jumbo lumb blue crab meat
is all protein, no fat and only 60 calories in a 1/2 cup serving.
