LUMP CRAB MEAT SALAD CANAPéS

Steps:

• Add all ingredients except for the crab meat into a bowl and whisk together. Taste for seasoning and add salt/pepper as needed.

• Slice the cucumber into ovals (on an angle) that are 1/4 inch thick. Cutting them on the angle gives the most surface area to hold the crab salad.
• Top each cucumber slice with scoop of the crab meat salad, then garnish with a tiny sprig of Dill.
