Crab Canapés
Yield: Makes 16 servings
Served on cucumber slices, these crab canapés are very low in fat. In addition to their great taste, cucumbers are also a good source of potassium and vitamin C.

2
teaspoons lemon juice

1
teaspoon hot pepper sauce

1
package (8 ounces) imitation crabmeat or lobster, flaked

1/3
cup chopped red bell pepper

2
green onions with tops, sliced (about 1/4 cup)

64
cucumber slices (about 2-1/2 medium cucumbers cut into 3/8-inch-thick slices) or melba toast rounds

Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)



 
Preparation:
1.
Combine cream cheese, lemon juice and hot pepper sauce in medium bowl; mix well. Stir in crabmeat, bell pepper and green onions; cover. Chill at least 1 hour to allow flavors to blend.
