From Every Day with Rachael Ray
August 2007

MAKES EIGHT SANDWICHES
Prep Time: 10 min

Ingredients:
  1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  2 tablespoons lime juice
  1 teaspoon grated lime peel
  1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  4 cups packaged coleslaw mix (about 12 ounces)
  1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  12 ounces fresh or canned lump crabmeat, picked over
  Salt and pepper
  8 hot dog buns
  1/3 cup chopped fresh dill, for garnish

1. In a large bowl, combine the mayonnaise, lime juice, lime peel and cumin. Add the coleslaw mix, cilantro and crab. Toss to coat and season to taste with salt and pepper.
2. Fill each hot dog bun with about 1/2 cup crab mixture and top with the chopped dill.

Sounds yummy!  I want to invite my girlfriends over and have Crab Dogs.  I don’t like coleslaw but I’m sure I can find something else to put in the recipe.  Very simple recipe, love that!
