Hearts of palm have a similar texture to crab when shredded because they are just as delicate and flaky. The chickpeas are mashed and serve as the binder which eliminates the need for eggs in this delicious take on crab cakes. The Tofu-garlic aioli which can be found on WW.com is a perfect sauce to serve with the cakes. A simple green salad completes the meal.
