Ingredients:

Serving

6 tsp cooking oil
1 cup coarsely shredded zucchini (about 5 oz)
1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup seasoned fine dry bread crumbs
1 tbsp dijon-style mustard
1/2 tsp snipped fresh lemon thyme
1/8 to 1/4 tsp ground red pepper (optional)
8- oz fresh cooked crabmeat,* chopped (1-1/2 cups)
2 large red and/or yellow tomatoes , cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
red and/or yellow cherry tomatoes (optional)
1 large lemon or lime, cut into wedges (optional)
1/2 cup dairy sour cream
3 tbsp minced yellow and red tomatoes
1 to 2 tbsp lemon or lime juice
1/8 tsp seasoned salt
tomato-sour cream dipping sauce (optional)

Directions:

In a large skillet heat 2 teaspoons of the cooking oil.
Cook and stir the zucchini and green onions about 3 minutes or until vegetables are just tender and the liquid is evaporated.
Cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl combine the beaten egg, bread crumbs, Dijon-style mustard, lemon thyme, and, if desired, red pepper.
Add the zucchini mixture and crabmeat; mix well.
Using about 1/4 cup of the mixture for each crab cake, shape into 8 patties, 1/2 inch thick and 2-1/2 inches in diameter.
Brush both sides of the crab cakes lightly with the remaining 4 teaspoons of oil.
Place crab cakes directly on a lightly oiled, preheated grill rack.
Grill crab cakes on an uncovered grill directly over medium-hot coals for 6 to 8 minutes or until golden brown, turning once.
To serve, overlap 2 crab cakes on individual salad plates along with sliced tomatoes.
Garnish with cherry tomatoes and lemon or lime wedges, if desired. Serve with Tomato-Sour Cream Dipping Sauce. Makes 4 side-dish servings (2 crab cakes with 2 tablespoons sauce).
Tomato-Sour Cream Dipping Sauce: In a small mixing bowl stir together dairy sour cream, minced yellow and red tomatoes, lemon or lime juice, and seasoned salt. Cover and chill. Serve with crab cakes. Makes about 3/4 cup.
Make-Ahead Tip:
Prepare Tomato-Sour Cream Dipping Sauce; cover and chill up to 4 hours.
