Ingredients
  • 1/4 cup plain yogurt
  • 2 tbsps vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint, chopped
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 lb lump crabmeat (picked over)
  • 1/2 cup mango, finely diced
  • 16 slices white sandwich bread, cut 1/4-inch-thick, toasted
  • 2 tbsps sesame seeds, toasted (optional)
Directions

Whisk yogurt and vegetable oil in a medium bowl. Stir in cilantro and mint, kosher salt, red pepper flakes, and black pepper. Fold in crabmeat and mango.

Thinly spread yogurt on one side of each slice of bread. Divide crab mixture among 8 slices; top with remaining bread, yogurt side down. Trim crusts. Cut each sandwich in half on a diagonal.

Place toasted sesame seeds on a plate, if desired. Dip one cut side of each sandwich in sesame seeds.
