I look for recipes that are deceptively easy. These fancy-but-quick crab and cucumber appetizers are heavenly, and the stand-out colors light up any gathering or holiday table, no matter the season. Ingredients:
3 medium cucumbers |
2/3 cup reduced-fat cream cheese |
2 teaspoons lemon juice |
1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce |
1 package (8 ounces) imitation crabmeat, chopped |
1/3 cup finely chopped sweet red pepper |
2 green onions, sliced |
Directions:
1. Peel strips from cucumbers to create striped edges; cut each cucumber into 16 slices, about 1/4-in. thick. Pat dry with paper towels; set aside.
2. In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese, lemon juice and pepper sauce until smooth. Fold in the crab, red pepper and onions. Place 1 heaping teaspoonful onto each cucumber slice. Serve immediately. Yield: 4 dozen.
