Zero-Point Crab Salad

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup chopped celery
  • 1 lb imitation crab meat (choose a brand with lower sodium and added sugars if possible)
  • 1/2 tsp dried dill
  • 1/2 cup non-fat Greek yogurt (as a substitute for mayonnaise)
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 shallot, finely chopped (or red onion if preferred)

Steps:

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the celery, imitation crab meat, dill, Greek yogurt, paprika, shallot, kosher salt, and black pepper. Stir gently until well combined.
  2. Chill: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the crab salad for at least an hour to allow the flavors to meld.
  3. Serve: Serve chilled and enjoy!

Notes:

  • Greek Yogurt: Using non-fat Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise helps keep the recipe lower in points. Greek yogurt adds creaminess with fewer calories and fat.
  • Imitation Crab Meat: Ensure the imitation crab meat is low in added sugars and sodium for the best results.
  • Points Calculation: The estimated WW points for this recipe are close to zero, but please check the WW app or website for precise points based on your specific ingredients.

Enjoy your light and refreshing crab salad!
