Low-fat skinny dip for crab cakes that is.

Bright yellow crab cake sauce/dip with saffronSaffron Dip

This crab dip / sauce will pummel Grey Poupon in the battle of snobbery anyday. And it owes all of it’s success to the, “I’m more expensive than gold” Saffron spice. But don’t let the price intimidate you, Saffron is so flavorful. Very little goes a loooong way. The dip is served as a cold accompanyment to crab cakes but I also like it with roast beef, chicken tenders and even boiled eggs. Saffron mayonaise is velvety textured, like a well whipped aoili should be, and shines like a hot August sun. It’s a lickety split solution to making any dull meal gourmet.
