Try using AutoMapper, you will need to add these references to your controller

using AutoMapper;
using AutoMapper.QueryableExtensions;

Your method

public IQueryable Get()
{
    return dbContext.Entities.ProjectTo();
}

In your global

protected void Application_Start()
{
        //Usually in a diff class Mapping.ConfigureDataTransferObjects();
        Mapper.CreateMap();
        Mapper.CreateMap();
}
