Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces lump crab meat
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt (plain, non-fat)
- 0.5 cup cottage cheese (1% or 2% fat)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 2 stalks green onions
- 1 tablespoon capers
- 4 slices whole grain bread
- 1 cup baby arugula
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
Instructions
Drain the crab meat if necessary and check for any shell fragments. Set aside in a medium bowl.
Finely chop the fresh dill and green onions. Add them to the bowl with the crab meat.
Add the Greek yogurt and cottage cheese to the crab mixture, mixing well until combined.
Stir in the lemon juice, capers, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil.
Toast the whole grain bread slices in the skillet until they are golden and crispy, about 1-2 minutes per side.
To assemble the toast, place a quarter of the crab mixture on each slice of toasted bread.
Top with a handful of baby arugula for a fresh, peppery flavor.
Serve immediately while the toast is warm and the toppings are cool.
