CREAMY ARTICHOKE SPINACH & CRAB DIP



Creamy Artichoke Spinach & Crab Dip image

This is one of my favorite dips to bring to a party and it's always a hit. It is delicious and creamy and has just the right amount of crab so it doesn't overpower the other ingredients. The tomato on top gives it a little extra burst of sweetness. Serve it with bread, chips, crackers, vegetables, etc., for dipping. You can make a lighter version of this by substituting the sour cream and mayonnaise with nonfat plain yogurt. For a vegetarian version, simply omit the crab.

CREAMY SPINACH AND CRAB MEAT DIP



Creamy Spinach and Crab Meat Dip image

Simple dip great for entertaining. Once you taste it you keep coming back for more. Always a hit at parties.

Provided by MIlliewoo

Categories     Crab

Time 1h10m

Yield 20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (50 g) packet onion soup mix (spring onion continental)
2 cups sour cream
1 cup mayonnaise
1 (200 g) can crabmeat, drained
4 sliced spring onions
1 (400 g) packet frozen spinach, thawed & drained
1 large loaf of round unsliced crusty bread

Steps:

  • Mix powdered soup mix with sour cream and mayonnaise and refrigerate until soup mix softens (this can be done overnight if you like).
  • Stir in well the rest of the ingredients.
  • Take a large round unsliced bread loaf and cut a big circle from the top. Hollow the cavity out by pressing down on the bread. Make little cuts around the edges of the loaf near the rim of the circle.
  • Fill the loaf with the dip. The cuts allow people to tear bread off easily to dip. I usually chop up the bread 'lid' as well as it always gets dipped in and eaten.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh spinach. If using frozen spinach, thaw it completely and squeeze out any excess water before using.
  • Use a high-quality crab meat. Fresh or frozen crab meat works well, but avoid using canned crab meat as it can be tough and stringy.
  • Don't overcook the spinach. It should be wilted but still retain its bright green color.
  • Use a good quality cream cheese. This will help to make the dip smooth and creamy.
  • Be careful not to overcook the dip. It should be heated through but not boiling.
  • Serve the dip immediately with crackers, chips, or vegetables.

Conclusion:

Creamy spinach and crab meat dip is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It is creamy, cheesy, and packed with flavor. Whether you are serving it at a party or enjoying it as a snack, this dip is sure to be a hit.
