Yield Makes 28 canapés

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 6-ounce can crabmeat, drained, or 4 ounces fresh crabmeat
1/4 cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons minced red onion
1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 English hothouse cucumber

Steps:

  • Gently mix first 5 ingredients in medium bowl; season with salt and pepper.
  • Cut twenty-eight 1/4-inch-thick round slices from cucumber (reserve remaining cucumber for another use). Arrange cucumber slices on platter. Top each slice with crab mixture.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest ingredients. Use fresh, firm cucumbers and crab meat for the best results. Fresh herbs, like dill and chives, will also add a lot of flavor to the dish.
  • Make sure the crab meat is cooked properly. If you're using fresh crab meat, cook it until it is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. If you're using canned crab meat, drain it well and flake it with a fork before using.
  • Don't overmix the filling. Overmixing the filling will make it tough. Mix it just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the cucumber slices before serving. This will help them to stay crisp and refreshing.
  • Garnish the crab cucumber slices with fresh herbs or lemon wedges before serving. This will add a pop of color and flavor.

Conclusion:

Crab cucumber slices are a delicious and refreshing appetizer or snack. They're perfect for summer parties or potlucks. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make this easy and elegant dish that is sure to impress your guests. So next time you're looking for a light and flavorful appetizer, give crab cucumber slices a try. You won't be disappointed!
