Skinny Crab Dip

Skinny Crab Dip
Recipe Tip
Not so Crabby
Shellfish, such as crab, is a good source of vitamin B-12. Our bodies need B-12 to help break down foods to give us energy.
Good as Fresh
Soaking the crabmeat in ice water for 10 minutes, then draining it and patting it dry can help remove any "canned" taste.

Skinny Crab Dip
I made this last night to serve with toasted baguettes. I followed the receipe *almost* to the T, but had to add some HEAT to it with 1T chopped green chilies from my garden and made it spreadable by adding a tad more cream cheese (used Philly 1/3 Less Fat). We loved the result! Soaking the crab in iced water really did work. Loved this and will make it again.

Simple and Tasty
This had a great flavor and was a hit when we had a few friends over the other night. Was a little chunky with crab though and needed a little more "dip" consistency to it.
