Prepare this simple, creamy cold crab dip that requires no baking. It is perfect for parties and can be made ahead of time.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 4 ounces sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon prepared horseradish
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 12 ounces lump crab meat, drained and picked over
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
  • Optional: 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese for topping

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and sour cream. Mix until smooth.
  2. Add the lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, horseradish, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to the cream cheese mixture. Stir well to combine all seasonings.
  3. Gently fold in the drained lump crab meat. Be careful not to break up the crab meat too much; you want some texture.
  4. Stir in the chopped fresh chives.
  5. Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl. If using, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
  6. Cover the dip and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving. This allows the flavors to blend.
  7. Serve your cold crab dip chilled with crackers, celery sticks, or vegetable chips.

Notes

  • You can make this creamy seafood dip up to 24 hours in advance. Keep it covered in the refrigerator.
  • For a slightly spicier flavor, add a dash of hot sauce to the mixture.
  • Use high-quality lump crab meat for the best flavor in this no bake crab dip appetizer.
