This healthier take on a lobster roll uses crab because it's usually easier (and less expensive) to buy. Serve this crab roll with coleslaw and an ice-cold beer.
Ingredients
¼ cup low-fat mayonnaise
1 tablespoon freshly grated lemon zest
3 tablespoons lemon juice
10 dashes hot sauce, such as tabasco
½ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
⅛ teaspoon salt
¼ cup finely chopped shallot
¼ cup finely chopped celery
¼ cup thinly sliced fresh chives, divided
12 ounces cooked crabmeat (about 2 cups; see tip), drained if necessary, any shells or cartilage removed
4 whole-wheat hot dog buns (toasted, if desired)
8 leaves red or green leaf lettuce
Directions
Whisk mayonnaise, lemon zest, lemon juice, hot sauce, pepper and salt in a medium bowl. Thoroughly mix in shallot, celery and 3 tablespoons chives. Mix in crab very gently so it doesn't break up too much.
Line each bun with lettuce and divide the crab filling among the buns. Garnish with the remaining 1 tablespoon chives.
