Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Fresh crab meat
- 8 Asparagus spears
- 8 Romaine or butter lettuce leaves
- 0.25 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill, chopped
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Blanch the asparagus spears for 2 minutes until tender-crisp. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Pat dry with paper towels.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the crab meat, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, fresh dill, salt, and pepper. Mix gently to avoid breaking up the crab meat too much.
Lay out the lettuce leaves on a flat surface. Place a small amount of the crab mixture in the center of each leaf.
Lay one asparagus spear on top of the crab mixture.
Gently fold the sides of the lettuce leaf over the filling, then roll it tightly from the bottom like a burrito. Secure with a toothpick if needed.
Repeat for the remaining lettuce leaves and filling.
Serve immediately as fresh and crisp lettuce rolls, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving.
