Crab Dip with Crudités
This creamy dip is based on ingredients that can be kept in the pantry and rustled up quickly if guests drop by unexpectedly. It is served with celery and cucumber sticks as well as juicy pineapple wedges, all of which add important nutrients to this snack. Crisp bread sticks are another good dipper.
