Crab Dip Recipe

All Recipes Crab Dip

This is THE best hot crab dip. I'm going to show you how to make what I consider the king of the hot dips, which begins, like most baked dips, with cream cheese, but the key ingredients I use really amplify that crabby flavor. Use the best lump crab you can find—but whether your budget has room for the finest fresh crab or just allows for canned crab, this easy baked dip will still be a hit at your party

Recipe Websites

Minimalist Baker I like how the website highlights the four most popular recipes and then underneath it there are links to other popular recipes. I also like how there are keys for dietary restrictions and that they are color coded.

Love and Lemons I like how large the side margins are on the website because it focuses your attention on the recipes. I also like how they highlight the fan favorite recipes and how they're in two columns.

Damn Delicious I like how all the food photography is taken from above and follows a similar color palette making it all feel unified. I also like that one of the first things on the website is a personal biography about the chef and a button to learn more about her.

Non-Recipe Websites

Fat Choy I like the hand-drawn illustrations and how some of the typography looks handwritten. When the tab is made smaller than full size some of the words do run together. I also like the mix of real pictures and illustrations.

Spotify Design I like the bright colors and movement of the typography and shapes when you first open the website. The design feels veyr fun and playful. I do wish the pictures were the same size.

Simply Chocolate I like how easy to navigate the website is, and how the seasonal items are highlighted. The website is very user-friendly and you are able to easily search through the website.
