Ingredients

• 1 can, 6 ounces of lump crab meat

• 1/4 CUP finely chopped red bell pepper

• 1/2 TSP lemon juice

• a few zests of lemon

• 4 wedges of laughing cow cheese

• 1/4 CUP 0 fat plain greek yogurt

• 1/4 TSP garlic powder

• 1/2 TSP Worcestershire sauce

• 1/8 TSP cracked pepper

• 1/8 TSP salt

• 1/2 TBSP fresh chives or 1/2 TSP dried chives

• 1 TBSP fresh parsley or 1 TSP dried parsley

• 1/4 TSP old bay seasoning

• 1/4 TSP stone-ground mustard

• Optional: a dash of hot sauce

Directions

• Drain the lump crab meat to remove any shells and excess liquid. We used a spoon to press down the crab meat in a strainer.
• Wash and dry the red bell pepper. You will need ¼ cup of finely chopped red bell pepper, which is about ¼ of a large bell pepper. Finely chop it into small pieces. Make sure the bell pepper is very finely chopped so that it disperses evenly in the dip.
• Wash and dry the lemon. Zest a little bit of the lemon and squeeze the lemon juice. We used a few zests of lemon in this recipe and 1/2 teaspoon of lemon juice.
• Thoroughly combine the wedges of laughing cow cheese and 0-fat plain greek yogurt in a bowl. Option: You can substitute laughing cow cheese for 4 tablespoons of fat-free or light cream cheese.
• Add the lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, cracked pepper, salt, fresh chives, fresh parsley, old bay seasoning, and stone-ground mustard to the bowl. Thoroughly mix the ingredients.
• Add the lump crab meat and finely chopped bell pepper to the bowl and thoroughly combine all of the ingredients.
• To eat this crab dip cold, you can enjoy it with some crackers or bread.
• To eat this crab dip hot, we love toasting some fresh bread and adding some of the crab dip on top. To do this, cut some fresh bread into slices and toast them in the oven at 400 degrees F for 10-12 minutes. Also, we love adding a scoop of crab dip to phyllo dough cups and baking them at 400 degrees F for 10-12 minutes. These are the perfect mini appetizers! If you just want to warm up the dip, place it in the oven at 400 degrees F for 12-15 minutes.
