Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams fresh crab meat
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 4 tablespoons low-fat Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 1 large celery stalk
- 2 stalks green onions
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 4 whole grain hot dog buns
- 4 large leaves lettuce leaves
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Begin by finely chopping the celery and green onions. These will add a nice crunch and flavor to the crab mixture.
In a large bowl, combine the fresh crab meat, chopped celery, and green onions.
Add the low-fat Greek yogurt, extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard to the bowl. Mix gently to ensure the crab meat remains in nice chunks.
Fold in the fresh dill, and season the mixture with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir until all the ingredients are well combined.
Preheat a griddle or non-stick pan over medium heat. Lightly toast the whole grain hot dog buns for about 2-3 minutes on each side until slightly crispy.
Line each bun with a large lettuce leaf. This will not only add a fresh, crisp layer but will also help to hold the crab mixture in place.
Generously spoon the crab mixture into each lettuce-lined bun, ensuring even distribution.
Serve immediately, optionally garnished with a small sprig of dill on top.
