LOSING WEIGHT NEVER TASTED SO GREAT
Another wonderful reason this Deli Crab Salad is perfect for your New Years plate? The taste of course!
Tossed with just the right amount of creamy light mayo and sour cream, your taste buds will relish how well the crab meat combines with the pasta noodles and chopped green onions.
Not an onion fan? Just substitute chives for a more mellow flavor.
But we’re not done yet. Next you’ll be adding up to a teaspoon of mustard; a dash of onion powder (especially great if you’ve used chives); and salt and pepper to taste.

Combined, I prefer to leave this pasta salad overnight in the refrigerator so the flavors can blend. It’s also wonderful to add celery if I’m craving a bit more crunch.
And plated over lettuce leaves, this looks so fancy you’ll never realize you’re even counting points!

How much exactly is a serving?
Jessica McCoy
I haven’t measured it out exactly, but looking at the ingredients, I would estimate it to be approximately 1 cup.
Randi
Thanks!! I was just confused because it said it made 2 servings but your picture looked like it was all the pasta and sauce plated. I can’t wait to make this!!!
Janis
If you’re on Weight Watcher’s Smart Points, each serving is 10 smart points. I’m finding that I have to enter most recipes into their recipe creator to get the smart points. I may find a substitute for the pasta. Any ideas?
Susie
Creamettes makes a 150 calorie pasta that does not taste any different ! It’ would drop smart points by 2 ( 4 points per serving versus 6 ) So 8 points is not bad for a filling seafood pasta salad !
Barbara
Made this yesterday for lunch today. I used plain Greek yogurt instead of sour cream and Hellman’s Low Fat dressing (15 cal. per serving).
It is delicious!!! I added a little green pepper diced and it is just wonderful!
