Fresh Crab Cakes

I know I have posted a Crab Cake recipe before, but that was for low-carb crab cakes, and this is a little different.  Using fresh ingredients and minimal fillers, these Crab Cakes makes this recipe healthy, light, and easy.  Per serving these crab cakes clock in under 200 calories (no sauce), and with only 13 grams of carbohydrates they are technically low-carb as well.  These would be great for dinner, a snack, or to serve at a party.  I just love how they look!  You can serve them up with various sauces or dips, too!

    Hi

    Is the canola-based mayo necessary, I really don’t want to buy a whole jar of it just for this recipe.
