Water Wonders

Eat foods like cucumbers which contain a higher percentage of water. More water means fewer calories for the same weight of food. Good news for your waistline.

Substitution

If you can’t find frozen crabmeat, use a 6-ounce can of crabmeat, well drained.

Did You Know?

English cucumbers, also called hothouse cucumbers, have very small seeds and thin skins that don’t require peeling, so they work well for this appetizer.
