Ingredients

  • 1 medium sweet red pepper, finely chopped
  • 1 celery rib, finely chopped
  • 1/3 cup plus 1/2 cup dry bread crumbs, divided
  • 3 green onions, finely chopped
  • 2 large egg whites
  • 3 tablespoons fat-free mayonnaise
  • 1/4 teaspoon prepared wasabi
  • 1-1/2 cups lump crabmeat, drained

  • SAUCE:
  • 1 celery rib, finely chopped
  • 1/3 cup fat-free mayonnaise
  • 1 green onion, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°. Combine red pepper, celery, 1/3 cup bread crumbs, green onions, egg whites, mayonnaise and wasabi. Fold in crab.
