This creamy and piquant crab dip is an ideal choice for entertaining. It combines cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise with horseradish, garlic, and Worcestershire sauce for a rich base. Flaked crabmeat and green onions are folded in, creating a delicious spread that benefits from chilling to allow the flavours to meld. It can be served cold or gently warmed.
