I haven't tried the zesty crab salad, but it sounds delicious! I love anything with crab in it. As for suggestions, you could also make a simple shrimp cocktail or a caprese salad with fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, and basil. Both are easy to make and always a hit at parties. Good luck with your Bunko night!
