Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- 3/4 teaspoon Old Bay Garlic & Herb Seasoning Blend
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 3 tablespoons green onion, thinly sliced (divided into 2 tablespoons for the dip and 1 tablespoon for garnish)
- 12 ounces lump crab meat, drained (two 6-ounce cans)
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with a hand mixer on medium speed for 1-2 minutes, or until fluffy and smooth.
- Add the sour cream, fresh lemon juice, Old Bay Garlic & Herb Seasoning Blend, cayenne pepper, and 2 tablespoons of sliced green onions to the cream cheese. Stir to combine evenly.
- Gently fold the drained lump crab meat into the mixture, taking care not to break up the crab lumps too much.
- Transfer the dip to a serving bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
- Before serving, remove the plastic wrap and garnish the dip with the remaining 1 tablespoon of thinly sliced green onions.
Notes
- Serve with crackers, chips, or fresh vegetables for dipping.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, you can increase the cayenne pepper or add hot sauce to taste.
- This dip can be made up to a day ahead and stored in the fridge for convenience.
