Crab salad
Dietitian's tip: This is a lighter, zestier version of the traditional crab salad. You can substitute lemon juice and wedges for the lime juice and wedges if you prefer.
SERVES 4
Ingredients
1/4 cup lime juice
1/4 cup rice wine vinegar

4 lime wedges
Directions
In a small bowl, combine the lime juice, vinegar, sugar, cucumber and mint. Add the crab and toss to coat well.
