Chilled Crab Dip

By ldelmas

This recipe is prepared with the Temp-tations® 9” x 13” Lid-It Baker with Lasagna Server & Wire Rack

Ingredients

• 1 (8-oz) package cream cheese, softened
• 3/4 cup sour cream
• 3/4 cup mayonnaise
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 3 Tbsp lemon juice
• 1/2 tsp hot sauce
• 1 jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped
• 1/3 cup red bell pepper, finely chopped
• 1/3 cup parsley, finely chopped
• 4 green onions, thinly sliced
• 12 oz crabmeat, drained and flaked

Preparation

Step 1

Place the cream cheese in the bowl of a stand mixer and fit the mixer with a paddle attachment. Mix until creamy and add the sour cream, mayonnaise, garlic powder, lemon juice, hot sauce, jalapeño, red pepper, parsley, and green onions. Mix until combined. Remove the bowl from the stand mixer and gently fold in the crab. Serve (or refrigerate for up to 2 days).
If you’re leery about the “chilled” angle, all I have to say is give this a-go, foodies. And, if possible, make it a day or two ahead of time so the flavors can really marry. It’s beautifully balanced—with just the right amount of crab.
