Notes
- Store leftover crab dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For best results, reheat the dip in the oven at 300°F until warmed through, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
- Serve this creamy dip with crispy pita chips or celery sticks for a lighter option.
- Don't overmix after adding the crab to keep those delicate lumps intact!
