Here’s a great retro dip to make for your next cocktail party. This classic creamy, cheesy crab dip is delicious with raw veggies, whole grain crackers, or baked tortilla chips. Many varieties of crabmeat are readily available in most supermarkets so choose whichever one best fits your taste preference and budget. While lump crabmeat is available fresh or frozen, it can be quite expensive. A 1-pound can of crabmeat, or imitation crab, is less expensive and can be substituted here if you like. Be sure to carefully pick through all crabmeat—fresh, frozen, or canned—to remove any shell or cartilage.
