HOT CRAB DIP

Makes about 3-1/2 cups.  (Serves 12)

Pita chips are great low-fat dippers for this scrumptious dip. To make the chips, cut 4 pita rounds in half horizontally. Cut each half into 6 wedges. Place in a single layer on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake in a 350° oven 8 to 10 minutes
 

INGREDIENTS

Nonstick spray coating
1 cup chopped fresh mushrooms 
3/4 cup Florida Orange Juice
1 14-ounce can artichoke hearts, well-drained and chopped 
2/3 cup fat-free mayonnaise dressing
1/3 cup sliced green onions 
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup diced pimiento
1 6-ounce can lump crabmeat, drained, flaked, and cartilage removed
 

DIRECTIONS

Spray an unheated medium saucepan with nonstick coating. Heat over medium-high heat.
Add mushrooms; cook and stir until tender. Remove from heat. 
Add orange juice, artichokes, mayonnaise dressing, onions, cheese, and pimiento. 
Gently fold in crabmeat. Transfer to a 1-quart casserole.
Bake, uncovered, in a 400° oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until bubbly. 
Cool 5 minutes.  Stir before serving. 
Serve warm with pita chips, vegetable dippers, or assorted crackers.
