TUNA OR CRAB MEAT DIP
A quick, different (not onion) dip...which can be made a day ahead of time. My teens like the leftovers (if there are any) as a "sandwich filling". If you prepare it a day ahead of time, use fewer seasonings (salt, pepper, horseradish, Worcestershire, etc.) and adjust seasonings to your taste before serving.
