  • If you don't have any fresh crab meat, you can use canned crab meat instead. Just be sure to drain the crab meat well before using it.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the cucumber into thin slices. This will help the cucumber bites stay together better.
  • If you don't have any cream cheese, you can use sour cream or Greek yogurt instead.
