Crab Cakes With Lime Sauce

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

• Ready In: 20 mins
• Serves: 8

Ingredients

• 1  medium lime
• 1  cup mayonnaise
• 1 (1/4ounce) envelope  Italian salad dressing mix
• 2  tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 12  ounces  crabmeat
• 25  finely crushed  Ritz crackers
• 2  tablespoons  finely chopped green onions
• 1⁄4 cup sour cream

Directions

1. Grate the peel from the lime and squeeze the juice.
2. Mix 1/2 of the lime juice you squeezed, 1/2 cup of the mayo, the salad dressing mix and the mustard in a medium bowl until well blended; add the crabmeat, 1/2 cup of the cracker crumbs and the onion; mix lightly but thoroughly.
3. Shape into 16 patties; coat with remaining cracker crumbs.
4. Cook patties, in batches of three or four, in a large nonstick skillet (spray lightly with nonstick cooking spray also), about two minutes on each side or until lightly browned and heated through.
5. Mix remaining 1/2 cup Mayo, remaining lime juice and peel, the sour cream and salt to taste until well blended; serve with the crab cakes.
