Nantucket Inspired Crab Cocktail

I’ve spent the last two weekends going to too many fun events while out of town.  That means too little lack of control over what I was eating, but lots of yummy ideas for new food.

I had lunch in Nantucket on the wharf with friends Susan and Jane and had a crab cocktail that was so good.  I don’t know what they put in theirs but here is my rendition of it.

For one serving

Lettuce cut into strips

2 T. Non-fat cream cheese

Couple of drops of milk

2t. Horseradish- divided in half

2 T. chili sauce

Couple of drops of limejuice

3 T. crabmeat

Mix the cream cheese, milk and half the horseradish together.  In a separate container mix the chili sauce, remaining horseradish and limejuice together (you could use pre-made cocktail sauce if you have it.)

In a ramekin or small jar, place all the lettuce, the cream cheese mixture, the cocktail sauce and top with the crabmeat.

To really guild the lily add some avocado cubes between the cream cheese and cocktail sauce layers.
