Creamy Dill Crab Salad (2-Point Light Version)

Description

This fresh, creamy crab salad is crunchy, herby, and satisfying without being heavy. It’s perfect for meal prep, sandwiches, wraps, or eating straight from the bowl. The dill gives it a bright flavor, while the light dressing keeps it low-point and high-protein.

 Ingredients

  • 8 oz imitation crab meat, chopped or shredded

  • 1 cup celery, diced

  • ½ cup light mayonnaise (or fat-free Greek yogurt for even fewer points)

  • 2 tablespoons fat-free Greek yogurt (optional but recommended for creaminess)

  • 1–2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder

  • Salt & black pepper, to taste

Optional add-ins (still low point):

  • Diced cucumber

  • Chopped green onion

  • A pinch of paprika or Old Bay seasoning

 Instructions

  4. Pour dressing over crab mixture and gently fold until evenly coated.

  5. Chill for 20–30 minutes for best flavor.

  6. Serve cold and enjoy!
