Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces fresh crab meat
- 8 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 0.25 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (low sodium)
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons green onions (sliced)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the reduced-fat cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Mix well until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Add the lemon juice, low sodium Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, fresh dill, green onions, and fresh parsley to the cream cheese mixture. Stir until all the ingredients are well combined.
Gently fold in the fresh crab meat, being careful not to break it up too much.
Season with black pepper to taste, adjusting as needed, and mix gently to distribute the seasoning evenly throughout the dip.
Transfer the crab dip mixture to an oven-safe baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Bake the dip in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, or until it's heated through and the top is slightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
Serve the creamy crab dip with your choice of low-sodium crackers or fresh vegetable sticks for dipping.
