Three Delicious Crab Dips (gluten, grain, and dairy free!)

December 13, 2020

Crab dip isn't inherently "holiday," but it's always just been that way for me growing up. I don't ever remember having it any other time of year, even though I love it so much. Now that our diets have shifted, I love taking old favorites and making versions our entire family can enjoy.

And boy, do we enjoy these. Very easy, so delicious, and friendly to a lot of restricted diets (though not all - I use coconut, so I apologize to my tree nut allergy friends). But give these a try. Even if you're not having any large gatherings, you'll probably want the full portion just for yourself.

  1. These look amazing! Any recommendations on gluten free crackers? I also try to do no refined sugar if you have a recommendation that fits that bill. Love your blog. Love your blog!

    1. If it's JUST gluten free you need, I go for good thins or nut thins, though they may have sugar in them. They also have rice flour and/or corn flour, depending on which you go for. If you want to go more grain-free, we're really liking the HU brand of snacks. Their chocolate bars are so good, but they have some grain free crackers that are good as well. Jules also really likes the Quinn grain-free pretzels. Their black pepper version is super delicious.
