Crab Cakes With Lime Sauce image

Can't remember where I got this; an addition to a magazine. It is very good. Not a traditional Crab Cake maybe but very tasty and very EASY. The Zaar format didn't recognize just an envelope of salad dressing mix but I am referring to one of the small envelopes about 1/4 ounce

1 medium lime
1 cup mayonnaise
1 (1/4 ounce) envelope Italian salad dressing mix

12 ounces crabmeat
25 finely crushed Ritz crackers
2 tablespoons finely chopped green onions
1/4 cup sour cream

Steps:

  • Grate the peel from the lime and squeeze the juice.
