CREAMY ARTICHOKE SPINACH & CRAB DIP
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.

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.
