This is a great recipe for a fabulous appetizer to serve at parties or just to serve before a nice dinner. You can also serve this at football parties as a lower fat alternative to hotwings or potato skins One of the things that I really like about making hot crab dip is the fact that it’s super easy, quick, and does not require many of the exotic ingredients that you would otherwise not find in your kitchen already.

Low Fat Hot Crab Dip

• 6 tablespoons Light Cream Cheese
• 1/2 cup Light Mayonnaise
• 7 1/2 ounces crabmeat
• 4 tablespoons minced onion
• 1 teaspoon garlic salt or ½ tsp minced fresh garlic
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce

Directions:

First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Then beat the mayonnaise and cream cheese until it has a smooth texture. Stir in your hot sauce, lemon juice, onion, garlic, salt, and pepper. Gently fold in crab meat being careful not to break the pieces too much.

Spray a casserole dish with nonstick spray and place the mixture into the dish. Bake for 20 minutes at 350 degrees and that’s it!

Serve the hot crab dip with toasted fresh bread, gourmet crackers, or chips.

This is a great appetizer for parties and is lower in fat and calories than a lot of appetizers (remember, crab = protein!)
