I make a thick crab dip with canned crab, a little horseradish, purple onion, mayonnaise and a dash of hot sauce!. Next I cut English cucumbers into 2 inch pieces, scoop out the seeds to make little bowls, fill them with the crab dip and sprinkle with Old Bay seasoning!. You can do the same with chicken salad or whatever your flavor!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
