With the salty richness of feta cheese and brightness from fresh lemon juice and herbs, this is an incredible twist on a classic creamy crab dip. Lump crab meat gives the dip an added touch of decadence, but it could also be made with less-expensive claw meat. Served with warm, crusty baguette slices this savory crab dip is the perfect “something different” to bring to your next potluck or party.

It looks good, but I don't like moldy cheese. what can i use in place of FETA that melts or would work in this recipe.

This dip looks really good and I plan on making it soon. Unlike the previous reviewer, all the ingredients and instructions were available online.

I couldn't try this recipe even though I really wanted to because there were no measures listed. There were numbers in front of each ingredient, but no cups, teaspoons, tablespoons, ounces, etc. I probably could have guessed at most of them but didn't want to try that and mess up the outcome.
