Steps:

  • Mix powdered soup mix with sour cream and mayonnaise and refrigerate until soup mix softens (this can be done overnight if you like).

Provided by Margo59

Categories     Crab

Time 20m

Yield 6 cups, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (4 1/4 ounce) package Knorr vegetable soup mix
1 cup light sour cream
8 ounces light cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup Miracle Whip
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon lemon juice
3/4 lb shredded real crabmeat or 3/4 lb imitation crabmeat
1/2 cup chopped green onion
1 (8 ounce) can water chestnuts, chopped

  • Add crab meat, chopped green onion and chopped water chestnuts.
  • Cook frozen spinach with salt to taste and drain well.
  • Mix all ingredients together.
  • Refrigerate 3 hours before serving with bread or crackers.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of cheeses. This will give your dip a more complex flavor. A good combination is cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and Parmesan cheese.
  • Add some spices and herbs to taste. This will help to brighten up the flavors of the dip. Some good options include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper.
  • Serve the dip warm with your favorite dippers. Some good options include crackers, chips, vegetables, and bread.
