When planning your menu for a summer afternoon of fun in the sun, don’t forget that chilled crab cakes are a perfect option! While crab cakes are normally served piping hot and fresh out of the skillet, chilled crab cakes are just as delicious. Wondering how to whip up some simple chilled crab cakes for your next on-the-go picnic? Look no further!

- Serve chilled!
A Fresh Fruit Coulis
Fruit coulis is an interesting complement to these chilled crab cakes that the whole family will love. While coulis sounds like a fancy and complicated creation, this fruit coulis requires only a few ingredients and offers a lot of flavor for a small price.
