Prep Time 15 minutes
Servings 10

Ingredients

  • 1.5 Pounds Lump Crabmeat (Picked over to remove shells)
  • 1/2 Cup Light Mayonnaise
  • 1/2 Cup Plain Nonfat Greek Yogurt
  • 1/2 Cup Celery, Diced
  • 1/4 Cup Red Bell Pepper, Diced
  • 2 Tbl Lemon Juice
  • 3 Tsp Dijon Mustard
  • Salt/Pepper To Taste
  • 10 Rolls

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine the lump crabmeat, diced celery, diced red bell pepper, and chopped parsley.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the light mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  • Gently fold the mayonnaise mixture into the crabmeat mixture until everything is evenly coated. Be careful not to break up the crabmeat too much
  • Slice the rolls in half horizontally, creating tops and bottoms.
  • To prevent the rolls from getting soggy, you have a couple of options:
    Option 1: Serve the crab salad in a separate bowl or container alongside the rolls. Allow your guests to assemble their own sandwiches to maintain freshness.
    Option 2: Spread a thin layer of butter or a light condiment (like mustard or mayonnaise) on the inside of each roll to act as a moisture barrier before adding the crab salad.
  • Scoop the crab salad onto the roll bottoms, then top with the roll tops.
    Serve the crab salad rolls immediately or wrap them individually in wax paper or foil for a portable and mess-free tailgating experience.
  • Each roll should get about 1 cup of the crab meat mixture. If you follow Weight Watchers, each cup of Creamy Crab Salad is 1 Point. (This doesn't include the WW Points per roll).
