Cold Creamy Crab Dip

submitted by butterflydog

2 small packages (3 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
1 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon chopped green onion
Hot sauce ( to taste and optional )
1/2 teaspoon paprika ( try 1/4 tsp smoked paprika instead )
1 envelope ranch dressing mix (.4 ounce)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
6 to 8 ounces crab meat, drained and chopped (fresh or canned)
Slivered almonds for garnish
Crackers of choice

Beat cream cheese with sour cream until well blended. Blend in the green
onion, hot sauce, paprika and dressing mix. Stir in crab. Taste and adjust
seasonings with salt and pepper, if desired. Chill until serving time.
Garnish with almonds. Serve with crackers. Note: I have also used canned
albacore tuna instead of the crab or even canned cooked white meat
chicken.
