I'm a seafood lover, so healthy crab cake sliders make so much sense, right? If you peruse the rest of my recipes that should be fairly obvious. These crab cakes are everything! They have a nice crunch and are packed with so much flavor. I drizzled my sliders with my Chipotle Mayo. Love at first bite! I purchased my jumbo lump crab meat at Costco. I purchased a couple of pounds for about $15. I only used one container for this recipe.
For meal prep, I stored the patties and Chipotle Mayo in separate Tupperware I placed the slider buns and cabbage slaw in a Ziploc bag.
