Ingredients
Crab Topping
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
- ¼ cup fresh chopped dill
- 2 cups Aqua Star crab meat

To make
Instructions
In a medium size bowl mix mayonnaise, lemon juice, parmesan cheese and dill. Fold in crab, red bell pepper and ham. Add salt and ground black pepper to taste.
Create strips on the cucumber by peeling every other “row” vertically to the cucumber. Cut cucumbers into 1/2” thick slices, about 20 pieces per cucumber. Using a small spoon scoop out a little flesh from the center of each cucumber slice. Place cucumbers on a plate lined with a paper towel to absorb some of the moisture.
To assemble the canapés: top each cucumber with a dollop of crab topping, garnish with ham and dill. Transfer to a serving tray and enjoy with your guests!
Serving Suggestions
Cucumbers can easily be swapped with crostini or crackers.
