1/2 pound green beans, halved

2/3 cup low-fat plain yogurt

3 tablespoons low-fat mayonnaise

1 to 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

How to make it

1. Bring a saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the haricots verts and cook until crisp-tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain and run under cold water to stop the cooking.
2. Puree the yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, chives, basil and anchovies in a blender until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Toss the crabmeat, half of the avocado and about 1 tablespoon of the yogurt dressing in a small bowl. Toss the romaine, croutons, haricots verts and the remaining avocado with the remaining dressing in a large bowl.
4. Divide the romaine salad among plates, top with the tomatoes and place some of the crab mixture in the center.
