A creamy, refreshing cold crab dip packed with rich flavor and a hint of tanginess, perfect for parties, gatherings, or a quick appetizer.


Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup crab meat
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons green onions, chopped
  • Salt and black pepper to taste


Instructions

  1. Combine Creamy Bases: In a bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, and sour cream together until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
  2. Add Flavorings: Stir in the lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder to infuse the dip with tangy and savory notes.

  4. Season: Add salt and black pepper to taste, adjusting the seasoning to your preference.
  5. Chill: Cover the dip and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld and the dip to firm up slightly.
