1st Tier: French Onion Crab Dip and Healthy Tuna Salad

Need something quick to stuff into your sandwich or a few appetizers for your guests to nibble on? Below are two quick and versatile recipes! 

You never know when you'll get inspiration to create some delicious food. It may not always be gourmet, but it's still a crowd pleaser. My mom got this two ingredient Crab Dip idea from Costco when she was eating a sample. On the day of my Mother's Day High Tea, I forgot to put this together earlier and had to do it as our guests were arriving. Luckily, it literally takes under 5 minutes to do.


French Onion Crab Dip
Yield: ~2 to 3 cups

Ingredients
  • 1 small package of imitation crab meat
  • 1 small box of Heluva Good French Onion dip
Directions
  1. Chop crab meat into very small pieces. About half centimetre cubes.
  2. Mix crab meat with dip until evenly distributed.
  3. Serve with Mary's Organic Crackers. They are my favourite, and my grandma's new found favourite!

This tuna salad recipe is so quick and easy, it's almost ridiculous. I usually make this when there is a big tub of yogurt or assorted veggies that need to be eaten. It's as healthy as a tuna salad can get!
