Goya Sallines can be served directly from the package as a simple snack. They are also excellent for accompanying soups and stews, providing a contrasting texture. For a more elaborate presentation, they can be used as a base for appetizers, topped with cheese, spreads, or small pieces of meat and vegetables. When serving with dips, ensure the dip is not too liquid to avoid making the crackers soggy. They can also be crushed and used as a binder or topping in certain dishes, adding a subtle crunch.
