Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh or canned lump crab meat
- 0.5 cup low-fat Greek yogurt
- 0.5 cup celery, finely chopped
- 0.25 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 pieces whole wheat hot dog buns

Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the lump crab meat, low-fat Greek yogurt, finely chopped celery, finely chopped red onion, lemon juice, and fresh dill.
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper to taste.
Mix all the ingredients gently until well combined. Be careful not to break up the crab meat too much.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the crab mixture for at least 15 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
While the crab mixture is chilling, lightly toast the whole wheat hot dog buns in a toaster or on a skillet for about 3-5 minutes until golden and warm.
Line each toasted bun with a piece of butter lettuce.
Spoon the chilled crab mixture evenly into each bun lined with lettuce.
Serve the low-fat crab rolls immediately, garnished with extra dill if desired.
