Everyone loved the crab salad my mother-in-law contributed to a family gathering, so I reduced the fat in her recipe for this version. Serve it hot or cold or as a spread for crackers. —Lanie Kappe of Santa Ana, California

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 packages (8 ounces each) imitation crabmeat, chopped
  • 1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped sweet red pepper
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • 1/4 cup chopped celery
  • 1 loaf (8 ounces) unsliced French bread, halved lengthwise

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the mayonnaise, salt and pepper. Stir in the crab, cheese, red pepper, onions and celery. Spoon over bread halves.
  2. Place on a baking sheet. Broil 5 in. from the heat for 7-8 minutes or until lightly browned. Cut into 3-in. pieces.
