Crab Cakes with Coleslaw and Lime Dill Yogurt Sauce

"A crab cake served with a fat-free yogurt dill-lime sauce that's simple enough for busy weeknight dinner! Made with nutrient-rich, fat-free yogurt and try using reduced-fat Parmesan cheese. The cheese does contain a small amount of lactose, and the live and active cultures in yogurt help digest lactose, making it a friendly option for those who are lactose intolerant."
