Tips:

  • Serve the crab dip with a variety of dippers, such as crackers, breadsticks, or vegetables.
  • Garnish the crab dip with fresh herbs, such as chives, parsley, or dill.
  • To make the crab dip ahead of time, prepare the dip according to the recipe and then store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, reheat the dip in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes, or until heated through.
