Cold Crab Dip

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Mixing the Dip

    In a mixing bowl, combine the crab meat, cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic powder, dill weed, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until smooth and creamy.

  2. 2

    Chill

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

  3. 3

    Toast the Bread

    While the dip is chilling, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the slices of garlic bread on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for about 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Once the dip is chilled and the garlic bread is toasted, serve the dip in a bowl with the toasted garlic bread on the side for dipping.
