This dip is wonderful! With the addition of some dill weed it tastes exactly like the stuff I drive to the other side of town to buy at a specialty deli! And for half the price! The key to this is to really mince the veggies and very finely chop the crab. I beat it all together with the hand mixer as well. Perfection. Thanks for sharing Heather.

I have to write this review based mostly on what my family thought of the taste as I have a cold and can't taste much of anything, but they thought it was quite good. We put it on split rolls for our dinner along with a bunch of different cut-up veggies. I did double the crab because I thought it looked to "saucy". I also added a whole lemon worth of juice and used green onion. Thanks for a very quick dinner!

Very good! I used cut up zucchini, peppers, cucumbers, and plum tomatoes as well as crackers to serve with this.

Awesome dip!! Made the night before - to use at christmas dinner with appetizers :)I dont care for crab so divided the cheese mix into 2, and made 1 part with half each of the stated: surimi,onion,lemon juice,celery (which got 5 stars from my family) I made the 2nd part using the last half part of onion with about 15 thin strips of bacon (grilled&crumbed)15 strips (for half the dip mix) is plenty! So all round 5 stars! Next time Ill try using tuna or salmon. Thank you for an awesome recipe!

I loved this recipe and so did all my guests. I'm going to try using dill weed but this is not far off from the crab dip a friend makes that is possibly the best food on earth.
