Zesty Crab Tea Sandwiches

I found this recipe on Tea with Friends and couldn't resost sharing it with you!

Zesty Crab Salad

1 cup cooked crab meat
1 celery rib
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
1/4 teaspoon lime juice
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon Tabasco sauce (or to taste)
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Place chunks of celery in food processor and pulse finely. Add crab meat and pulse a few times more, just until blended since the crabmeat is already very tender. Pour into a small bowl, add remaining ingredients and combine well. Yields 1 cup of sandwich spread. Also good as a dip!

Other sandwiches have mayonnaise and tomato. Crushed boiled eggs and caviar would be great! Capers on anything.
