What to Serve with Crab Dip

If you want, you can also use a low carb tortilla, such as Mission Carb Balance and make your own tortilla chips.

Otherwise, you can serve this baked crab dip with the following non-keto sides:

Tips for the Best Crab Artichoke Dip

You’re welcome to use regular or lite cream cheese in this crab and artichoke dip, so long as it’s brick-style.
I recommend buying artichokes that are packed in oil or water, not brine.
Rinse and pat the crab meat dry before mixing it into the dip.
