This creamy flavorful dip from Linda Doll of St. Albert, Alberta is sure to be popular at parties. “Bake it in a hollowed-out pumpernickel or white round bread loaf,” she suggests. “Serve it with bread cubes, pita bread or assorted raw veggies.” TIP: “I often used canned crab,” Linda notes.

This is one of the best dips I have in my recipe collection. Everyone loves the dip and asks for the recipe. Even when the dip is gone, people are pulling apart the bread bowl to get the last bites!!
