Crab-Filled Veggie Bites
Why I Love This Recipe
Ingredients You'll Need
12 cherry tomatoes
12 fresh snow peas
1 can (6 ounces) crabmeat, drained, flaked and cartilage removed or 1 cup finely chopped imitation crabmeat
2 tablespoons reduced-fat spreadable cream cheese
1 tablespoon finely chopped green onion
2 teaspoons reduced-fat sour cream
2 teaspoons chili sauce
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon prepared horseradish
Directions
Cut a thin slice off the top of each tomato. Scoop out and discard pulp; invert tomatoes onto paper towels to drain.
Meanwhile, place snow peas in a small saucepan; add 1 in. of water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 1-2 minutes or until crisp-tender. Drain and immediately place peas in ice water. Drain and pat dry. With a sharp knife, split each pea pod along the curved edge.
In a small bowl, combine the remaining ingredients. Fill tomatoes and peas with crab mixture; arrange on a serving platter. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Yield: 2 dozen.
