Did you resolve to shed a few pounds this year?

Over 80% of Americans did and if you’re one of that percentage this light salad is for you.

Substitutions are easy - as you can replace the green peppers with onion, carrot, celery or all of the above. This is a great light lunch paired with lettuce and tomato in a pita and the Weight Watcher’s point count is low, too!

Low-Fat Crab Salad 6 ounces crabmeat, drained 1/3 c. fat-free mayonnaise 3 T. finely diced fresh green peppers 1/2 t. lemon juice 1/4 t. garlic powder salt, to taste pepper, to taste
