Ohhh Bergy, you did it again!! We couldn't do the appetizer thing on the weekend, so we did it today, this recipe is going with us to Abbotsford for the holidays, what a wonderful appetizer!! Crab of course is marvelous and everything else in the recipe complimented the crab, nothing overpowered it. We used fresh spinach, chopped because we had it, it worked out fine. The ranch dressing mix and the dill were a surprize, perfect match with the lovely crunch of water chestnuts. This is going to be a pleasure to make and serve over the holidays. I'm going to try it as a dip/spread also, should be very good with crackers or let them fill their own mini pitas. Thanks for sharing the best!!
