Crab Dip
By Diane Lowrey
INGREDIENTS:

Pint fresh crab (may substitute canned, but best not to)
1 cup sour cream or plain yogurt
1/4 to 1/2 cup mayo
1/4 cup softened cream cheese (optional; use more yogurt if preferred)
1/2 cup chopped green onions
2 to 3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1/2 tablespoon lemon zest
Fresh dill to taste (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste
Pepper flakes or cayenne if desired

PREPARATION:

Here is a tasty dip for the holidays. The crab to cream ratio is adjustable. You can stretch this by using more sour cream/yogurt/mayo/cream cheese. If you prefer to focus on the crab, reduce the creams. Combine sour cream or plain yogurt with mayonnaise and softened cream cheese. Add chopped green onions, chopped fresh parsley, lemon zest and dill, then salt, pepper and hot pepper to taste. Remove any shells from crab and drain excess water. Add to cream mixture, mix and chill for 2 hours. Serve with your favorite chips or crackers.

Serves 4 to 6, depending on appetites.
