By carvalhohm2

Ingredients

• 3 medium cucumbers
• 2/3 cup reduced-fat cream cheese
• 2 teaspoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
• 1 package (8 ounces) imitation crabmeat, chopped
• 1/3 cup finely chopped sweet red pepper
• 2 green onions, sliced

Preparation

Step 1

Peel strips from cucumbers to create striped edges; cut each cucumber into 16 slices, about 1/4-in. thick. Pat dry with paper towels; set aside.

In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese, lemon juice and pepper sauce until smooth. Fold in the crab, red pepper and onions. Place 1 heaping teaspoonful onto each cucumber slice. Serve immediately.

Yield: 4 dozen.
