So, I'm on bedrest so I used what I had around -- 8 ozs. of rough-chopped krab meat (I know, terrible, 1 lemon zested, and a spoon-and-a-half of mayo -- I was worried it wouldn't be citrusy enough bc I zested using a knife (can you tell I'm not pro? so I also squeezed in the juice of half the lemon, and threw everything in the food processor to get a finer texture. So.delicious. I imagine lime would be less in-your-face than my lemon, but I thought it was perfect -- had it with spinach on cinnamon bread because I like sweet : This would take less than 5 minutes to throw together, I imagine, if you had a zester -- good AND quick? Done.

I had great luck with this recipe! I used light mayo and also added avocado, like some other reviewers. Can't wait to move on to the other recipes that were on the show!
Oh and to the anonymous person, it wasn't even Ina's recipe.. If you'd watch the show, you'd know that.. Keep rude comments to yourself!
