Like the title says How do you make crab salad low fat? I love crab salad, Right now how I make it is mix the crab and Mayo and sprinkle garlic power on it and thats it, Does anyone know if the way I currently make it is Low Fat? Just wondering.
You can also elevate the fiber content with almost no calories by adding finely diced or sliced celery and onion of some sort. The difference, for me, between the yogurt and the mayo, is egginess. Grated or finely diced egg whites (from hard boiled eggs) can add just enough taste to turn the corner- and minimal calories + added bulk
Sometimes I use mustard in place of mayo in tuna salad or egg salad, because it has no calories. You can add a dash of artificial sweetener if it is too tart.
If you use real crab, shrimp and fish, I would recommend making it ceviche style with lime juice, tomatoes, onions, and cilantro. That sounds so good right now. I'll have to make some this weekend.
nothing beats wild Alaskan crab caught fresh with crabpots while camping....take the skiff out, haul in the crab pots, and cook them over an open bonfire....yummmm
try adding chopped fresh basil and a dash of cayenne pepper. Let rest a while in the fridge to blend the flavors, and enjoy! A friend who's a chef taught me that trick. It's really good on crackers, but now I'd probably have it with celery sticks or cucumber rounds.
