Oh My Crab Dip!


My mom's friend made this amazing crab dip last week and I fell in love with it. Not only did I love it but everyone that has tried it did as well. The only problem was that it wasn't necessarily the best thing for me. So then I knew that I could make a healthier version of it without compromising the taste whatsoever! And not only did I, but wow it tastes even better!

Ingredients:

Ranch dressing packet (spicy or regular) - 1/2 pkt
Light Sour Cream - 8 oz (1/2 pint)
3 Green Onions
Reduced Fat (or light) Cream Cheese - 1 block (at room temperature so its soft)
1 pkg of crab (Imitation or regular)
Cayenne Pepper - to taste

All you do is mix 1/2 of the dressing packet with the sour cream.

Chop the onions and mix them in.

Mix in the cream cheese.

Fold in the crab.

Add Cayenne to taste.

And that's it! Its delicious, healthy and EASY! I love it with Triscuits but tomorrow I'm going to make a salad with it. Just going to toss it with some Romaine lettuce and add some hard boiled egg slices and a squeeze of lemon. It would also be great served on English cucumber slices if you are wanting a low carb way to serve it. But get creative and make it your own. Doubled, this recipe is plenty for a potluck or if you have friends over! I hope you love it as much as I do.
