Ingredients

  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 can (6 ounces) crabmeat, drained and cartilage removed
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon grated lemon peel
  • 2 large cucumbers

Steps

  • 1
    Place sour cream, crabmeat, garlic salt and lemon peel in blender. Cover and blend on medium-high speed about 45 seconds, stopping blender twice to scrape down sides, until smooth.
  • 2
    Pour dip into serving bowl. Cover and refrigerate 1 hour to blend flavors.
  • 3
    Peel cucumbers if desired; cut lengthwise into fourths and remove seeds. Cut cucumber fourths into spears, about 2x3/4 inch.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    This recipe is easy to lighten up. Just substitute low-fat or no-fat sour cream. Serving the dip with cool, crisp cucumber spears gives it a fresh summer taste and keeps the calories down.
  • tip 2
    Dress cucumbers up by alternating peeled and unpeeled portions on the surface, giving them a tiger-stripe look. Slice the cucumbers instead of cutting into spears, and you’ll have dipping slices with two-toned edges.
