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

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest cucumbers you can find. This will ensure that your cucumber crab bites are crisp and refreshing.
  • Use high-quality crab meat. Fresh or frozen crab meat will work well, but avoid using canned crab meat, as it can be tough and bland.
  • Don't overmix the filling. Overmixing can make the filling tough, so mix it just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Be careful not to overcook the crab bites. They should be cooked just until the crab meat is heated through and the cucumber is still crisp.
  • Serve the crab bites immediately. They are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven.

Conclusion:

Cucumber crab bites are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They are light and refreshing, with a crispy cucumber exterior and a creamy, flavorful crab filling. Whether you are hosting a party or just looking for a quick and easy snack, cucumber crab bites are sure to please.
