The base is cream cheese, mayo, and crab.

We’ve dressed ours up with green onions, parsley, horseradish, slivered almonds and Tabasco.

What Crab To Buy

Look for lump crab meat for this recipe.

Any mix of lump, backfin, and/or claw crabmeat will work fine.

Look for the freshest crab meat possible; it should smell sweet, not fishy.
