This is an easy and tasty dip that you can whip up at a moment’s notice. If you have a can of crab meat in the cupboard and a package of cream cheese in the fridge, the rest of the ingredients you probably already have on hand, so if friends drop by unexpectedly – no problem. This also makes a nice snack when you are watching a movie on TV. You can use low-fat cream cheese and mayonnaise in this recipe.
