Serving Ideas and Suggestions:

Crab dip is delicious and part of the fun is the different potential combinations possible in ways of serving it! Here are some ideas for things to serve for dipping it with or using it for other appetizer recipes:

Tortilla Chips:

Tortilla Chips are great with crab dip. You can use white tortilla chips, blue tortilla chips, multi-grain chips, or corn tortilla chips.

Tortilla Wraps:

Spread crab dip on a small tortilla and wrap. You can optionally add other things to the wrap such as lettuce, tomato, bacon crumbles, or other favorites. Slice into wedges and serve.

Veggies:

The crab dip recipes above are fantastic when paired with grape tomatoes, carrots, celery, red and green pepper slices, and other vegetable favorites. They also make for a nice garnish to the plate.

Buttery Crackers:

There are many different crackers available that can go fantastic with any of the above dips. Our personal favorite are buttery snack crackers paired with recipe #2 above – can’t get enough of it, even if it is so simple! Sesame and onion crackers also work well with these types of spreads.
