On a recent shopping trip we picked up a few items to make Curried Crab on Crackers. You all know that I work full time while juggling marriage and motherhood so meal planning and recipe creation is something that stumps me every time! Thanks to Whole Foods ~ they have a website FULL of wonderful (and simple) recipe ideas for drinks, appetizers, entrees, and MORE! It's a blessing for working moms like me! That's where I found this SIMPLE appetizer. They even have an option to order your ENTIRE holiday meal!!! I'm definitely using the Whole Foods Best Holiday Ever as my Cheat Sheet for stress free holiday entertaining!
This appetizer may be making an appearance at my next holiday pot luck! Bonus: It is super easy to make and you can make it a day ahead! WIN!
Curried Crab on Crackers:
Creamy, delicately spiced and garnished with a red grape, this is a quick and festive, last-minute appetizer, but it's even better when you make the crab mixture a day ahead. Makes 2 dozen.
Ingredients:
1 (8-ounce) tub crabmeat
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 1/2 teaspoon mild curry powder (or more to taste)
2 green onions, finely chopped
24 water crackers
12 red grapes, halved
Method:
In a large bowl, fold together crab, mayonnaise, lime juice, curry powder and green onions. Top each cracker with a bit of crab salad, then garnish with a grape half and serve.
